Altrincham have had a rough run lately, losing three of their last five games, while Gateshead have been a bit better with three wins in their last five, though both teams took heavy defeats in their most recent outings. So neither side comes in looking especially sharp, and both have had some lopsided losses recently.

When these two meet, it's usually Gateshead who come out on top - they've won most of the recent meetings, often by a single goal, with only one draw among them. That said, the games haven't been full of goals, staying fairly tight most times. Given Gateshead's stronger recent form and their edge in this fixture, Gateshead look the more likely winners, though it should be a close one.
