"Last seen signing off November with a rollercoaster 4-2 defeat at the hands of Sutton, Alun Armstrong's men are at the heart of a relegation scrap and have rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Watching their National League Cup adventure come to a thumping end last month as they fell to a 3-0 loss at home against Leeds' U21s, the former Darlington boss has seen his struggling squad lose all of their previous six consecutive appearances across all competitions."
"Last seen extending on their EFL Trophy adventure as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Stevenage, Mat Sadler's men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Signing off November with a routine 3-1 win at home against Bromley, the Midlands-based outfit have won all of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 7-2."
Gateshead sit in a relegation battle after a six-match losing streak across all competitions, conceding 19 goals during that period. The side suffered heavy recent defeats including a 4-0 loss at York City and a 3-0 National League Cup defeat to Leeds' U21s, and have lost their last three home matches by an 8-0 aggregate. Walsall are enjoying strong form with three straight wins and a 7-2 aggregate, including a 2-1 EFL Trophy win at Stevenage and a 3-1 home victory over Bromley. The contrast in momentum and Gateshead's defensive fragility frame the FA Cup tie.
