Gateshead FC desperately need points on Monday, Dec 28 at 4:00 PM in the National League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

AFC Fylde come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 1L). Gateshead FC travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours AFC Fylde here — they've won 9 of 10 previous meetings against Gateshead FC, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives AFC Fylde a slight edge, but Gateshead FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
