Recent respective form guides

Altrincham are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While Robins have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Gateshead however, is much more impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. These six games have produced a glut of goals, with the Tynesiders scoring 19 and conceding 7.

Altrincham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 29 points from their 33 games thus far.

Gateshead's 45 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
