Gateshead play host to Kidderminster Harriers at International Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 6 of the previous 8 games.

The last time the two teams met at Gateshead was more than a decade ago, in March 1998, with Gateshead running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Conference match.
