Gateshead vs York City prediction 24.03.2026 | National League

After two good seasons, Gateshead are in danger of relegation. They are one position behind the safety, and the upcoming weeks at Gateshead International Stadium will be very interesting. March was optimistic for Rob Elliot's team as they were on a run of five games without a defeat until the most recent outing and a 3-0 loss on the road against Boreham Wood. The home side dominated throughout the game, and the visitors didn't have a real chance for points. Now, Gateshead will welcome one of the best teams in the competition, and that will be another tough test in their hunt for much-needed points. 

Gateshead lost heavily to Boreham Wood, and manager Rob Elliot was disappointed. He said that it felt like the game was already over after 15 minutes and that they didn't really give themself a chance. Elliot also added that he wants to see a little more belief from his players in the upcoming game against York. 

Gateshead are disappointing at the home stadium. They are the worst in the competition with a 3-4-12 record. However, the positive is that two of their three victories came in the previous three matches in Gateshead. 

Last season, York lost in the promotion playoff, but they repeated an excellent year and will have another chance to return to League Two. York City are second in the standings with two points fewer than Rochdale. Also, their excellent form and 12 wins in the last 13 matches give them a lot of confidence. In the previous game, York City won 4-0 at home against Brackley Town. The hosts ended with 66% ball possession and 10 shots on the goal more than the opponent, so it is no wonder Stuart Maynard's team secured another easy victory.

York's manager, Stuart Maynard, was ecstatic with the team's defense after a victory against Brackley Town. He said, "It's my favourite score, when we get a nil against our name. I'm more than happy with when we score, but once we get a nil against our name, it's a collective."

York City are the best visitors in the competition. They have a 14-4-1 record and a 41:16 goal difference.
