FC Halifax Town vs Gateshead Prediction

The form gap between these two sides is stark. Gateshead arrive at FC Halifax Town's ground having lost their last five matches in a row, scoring just two goals and conceding 14 along the way. Their last five results read 1–2 at home to Worthing, 0–1 at home to Altrincham, 0–4 at Wealdstone, 1–6 at home to Southend, and 0–1 at Kidderminster Harriers — a run that has left them with zero points and no clean sheets. Across their last 10 games on all venues, Gateshead have won none, drawn one and lost nine, averaging 0.5 goals scored and 2.5 conceded per game.

FC Halifax Town, by contrast, are in a far more comfortable position. Their last five matches produced two wins, two draws and one loss, with 6 goals scored and 4 conceded. They won 2–0 at Solihull Moors just seven days before this fixture and have failed to score in none of their last five games. At home, their record over 20 games stands at 8 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, with an average of 1.95 goals per game. Their last 10 matches on all venues show 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, with 5 clean sheets in that stretch.

The head-to-head at this venue is limited to a single recent meeting — a 1–2 Gateshead win on 17 February 2026 — but the older record across 21 meetings tells a very different story: FC Halifax Town have won 7, drawn 13 and lost just 1. Gateshead's away record over 20 games is 5 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses, with 7 of those 20 ending in a failure to score.

The main counter-argument is that FC Halifax Town have drawn two of their last five games and the one recent meeting at this ground went the visitors' way. Gateshead's away record is not without some positive numbers — 5 wins in 20 — and the 1–2 scoreline from February suggests the visitors can find a route to goal here. However, the extent of Gateshead's recent results — 14 goals conceded in five games and only 2 scored — makes that February result feel like a relic of a different team.

Key Points:

• Gateshead have lost their last 5 matches, scoring 2 and conceding 14

• FC Halifax Town are 8W 5D 7L at home over 20 games, averaging 1.95 goals per game

• Gateshead's away record is 5W 4D 11L over 20 games, with 7 failures to score

• The only recent meeting at this venue (February 2026) was a 1–2 Gateshead win

• FC Halifax Town have not failed to score in any of their last 5 matches

The evidence points firmly to FC Halifax Town home win.
