- Team form: Gateshead are winless on the road in the National League 2026-2027, having played six away games without a win, conceding 2.67 goals per game and 16 goals overall.
- Recent results: Gateshead have lost five consecutive matches in all current competitions, including a 0-1 defeat to Altrincham and 1-2 defeat to Worthing, both at home.
- Halifax form: Halifax Town's form is mixed but positive, W2, D2, L1 in their last five in all competitions, having held Boston United to a 1-1 draw at home and beaten Solihull Moors 2-0 away in their two most recent fixtures.
Head-to-head
Gateshead are 7.5 to win in Halifax. Town have won three of the last five meetings between the two clubs in all contests, Gateshead have won one and one has been level.
The visitors were the victors 2-1 away in the National League 2025/2026 edition, but that was seven months ago and Halifax should not take anything for granted on Saturday.
Goals, goals, goals
Halifax attack
If Halifax have been in their best game in the National League 2026-2027 season of late, they can justify their status as clear favorites here, but they should have the ability to put a few goals past a Gateshead side who have been in free-fall in recent weeks. Zak Gilsenan is the spark in this team and leads the club's scoring charts in the National League 2026/2027 with four goals in nine games.
Gateshead struggles
In contrast, Gateshead's top threat is Alex Lankshear who has been in a goal drought in the league all season with just one goal in ten appearances.
The bottom line
Halifax are the team in form and Gateshead have been struggling for goals and points.
*Halifax Town – 1.38 at time of writing
- There is no value in Gateshead at 7.5, nor in the draw at 5.19 and John McGrath's men are the bet here at 1.38.
- An alternative bet, which covers both sides, could be Over 2.5 goals at 1.63, while Both Teams to Score is also very appealing at 1.83.
