Gateshead host Altrincham in the National League. Gateshead have been struggling for results all season, while Altrincham have settled into the top half of the table.
The two sides have met plenty of times over the years, and Altrincham have had the better of the most recent meetings. Whether that pattern holds up again here is the interesting bit.

Where to place this bet
Contrasting recent form
Gateshead's form has been rough. Across their last 20 games in all competitions they've won just 3, drawn 5 and lost 12, shipping 41 goals along the way. A 1-6 home defeat to Southend a couple of weeks ago summed things up, and they've also lost heavily to Forest Green and Yeovil in that spell.

Altrincham's equivalent record is much healthier: 9 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses from 20 games, with 25 scored against 29 conceded. Their last two National League outings brought wins over AFC Fylde and Hartlepool, though they'd lost three of the four before that, so it hasn't been entirely smooth for them either.
Gateshead's defensive record is the clearest concern heading into this one.

The most recent meeting, hosted by Altrincham back in April, finished 3-1 to the home side. Gateshead haven't beaten Altrincham in any of the last few attempts on record.
Recent history leans clearly towards Altrincham, even on the road.
A wide gap in the table
Gateshead currently sit down in 24th position after nine league games, picking up just one win, one draw and seven defeats for four points. Altrincham are tenth with five wins from nine and 15 points on the board.

| 24 | Gateshead | 10 | 1 | 1 | 8 | 6/24 | 4 |
That's a big early-season gap between two teams who'll share a pitch this weekend.
Goals could well flow
Gateshead have conceded 20 goals in just nine league games this season, one of the weaker defensive records in this data. Altrincham have scored 12 in the same number of matches, a decent if unspectacular return.
Put those two things together and it points towards a game where Gateshead's back line is likely to be under pressure more than once.
A clean sheet for Gateshead looks unlikely on this evidence.

Everything here points the same way. Gateshead's home performances have been poor, their head-to-head record against Altrincham has slipped away from them, and the two clubs sit in very different parts of the table.
Altrincham won't have it all their own way given their own inconsistency on the road, but the gap in quality looks too wide for Gateshead to close at home.
