Gateshead FC desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 at 1:30 PM in the National League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Gateshead FC come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5). Hornchurch, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Gateshead FC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Hornchurch arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

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