Gateshead arrive at home in strong form under Alun Armstrong after recovering from an opening defeat and accumulating seven points from their last three matches. The side scored nine goals during a three-match unbeaten run and suffered only one defeat in five National League appearances, including a 4-3 win over Yeovil and a 3-3 comeback at Aldershot. Altrincham remain inconsistent under Phil Parkinson, recording a 2-0 win over Solihull Moors but losing four of their previous five league games. The Robins have shown defensive vulnerabilities, including recent 2-1 defeats to Eastleigh and Morecambe.
Despite opening the new campaign with an empathic 3-0 drumming against Southend on August 9th, the Tynesideres have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Mounting a second-half comeback against Aldershot over the weekend as they eventually snatched a thrilling 3-3 stalemate, the former Darlington boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous five National League appearances.
Despite landing a 2-0 win at home against Solihull Moors on August 25th, it appears that was just a minor boost for Phil Parkinson's downbeat squad. Making an immediate return to losing ways over the weekend as they slumped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Eastleigh, Wednesday's guests have lost four of their previous five National League appearances and have come under some increasing scrutiny.
