Match Preview – Aldershot Town vs Gateshead FC

The fixture presents a real opportunity for the Heed, with both sides fighting just above the relegation zone.

The visitors have picked up three wins from their last five games, taking important points from Scunthorpe, York and Yeovil, alongside a goalless draw away at Carlisle.

In contrast, Aldershot come into this game with just one win in their last five.

During that run, they suffered defeats to Wealdstone and Boreham Wood.

They have looked inconsistent at the back in recent games, which could provide a huge opportunity for a lively Gateshead attack on Saturday.
