Gateshead
Wealdstone
Next up on the road for Gateshead is a 574-mile round trip to Grosvenor Vale, where we take on Wealdstone in the Enterprise National League.
Wealdstone come into this game having had their previous fixture against Scunthorpe United abandoned due to a player injury, however, Scunthorpe have since been awarded the victory, having been leading 2-1, when the game was abandoned in the 78th minute. Things have been going well for Wealdstone in the league this season, and they come into Saturday’s fixture sitting 10th in the National League table, with notable home wins against Southend United and FC Halifax Town.
We’ve Met Before
In the most recent meeting between these two sides, Gateshead put four past The Stones at Grosvenor Vale, in a 4-0 demolition of the home side. Two first-half Luke Hannant penalties put the Heed in cruise control, before victory was sealed in the second half with a Jovan Malcolm brace.
Grosvenor Vale has become something of a happy hunting ground for The Heed in recent years, with Gateshead having won their last three visits here. Gateshead have been victorious in all of their last five games against Wealdstone.

Substitutes
Gateshead claimed a point in the capital with Kain Adom scoring both goals in a 2-2 draw against Wealdstone.
Alun Armstrong made four changes to his side that were defeated at Woking last weekend, including Joe Grayson who returned from injury.
George Shelvey, Josh Home and Connor Pani were also named in the 11 – the latter returning from suspension.
It was a nightmare start for the visitors, with Wealdstone taking the lead after just three minutes.
Dom Hutchinson pressed Shelvey inside his six-yard box, and the goalkeeper’s kick rebounded straight off the home midfielder and into the net.
Gateshead’s first chance of the afternoon came through Adom, though the Wealdstone keeper made a neat save at his bottom corner.
Meanwhile, Wealdstone searched for a second with Enzio Boldewijn heading a corner over, while Hutchinson forced Shelvey into a save at point-blank range.
On the brink of half-time, Gateshead levelled as Curtis Edwards’ low cross was dispatched by Adom at the front post.
The Heed started the second half from where they left off, with Kyle Hurst and Harry Chapman both going close.
There was another big opportunity to take the lead when Hurst drove to the byline and pulled back for Adom, who fired over inside the box.
The goal eventually came on 79 minutes when Adom chased down a long ball, dribbled past the keeper and slotted into an empty net.
That lead only lasted nine minutes, as Wealdstone substitute Kretzschmar followed up a on a fantastic diving save from Shelvey to make it 2-2.
The Stones pressed for a winner, hitting the crossbar from a header, but ultimately the points were shared.
