As the Vanarama National League North unfolds its third match day, Gateshead embarks on a 434-mile journey to meet AFC Telford United this Saturday.
Gateshead comes into this face-off with mixed results, securing an away win yet facing defeat at home. In this pandemic era, where home advantage might be less impactful, they're keen to maintain an unbeaten streak on the road.
Both squads are already out of the FA Cup this season. Gateshead fell to Chorley during the quarter-finals of the qualifying rounds, while Telford bowed out to Leiston on penalties in the semi-finals earlier in the week. Can these extra minutes on the field give Gateshead an edge?
Last year's match was a lackluster 0-0 draw, so fans logging into the live stream hosted by the home team this weekend will look forward to more excitement.
For Gateshead, there's promising news as Nathan Dale shakes off an injury to rejoin the squad, accompanied by Ruairi Keating, finally available after sitting out a game due to suspension.
