Home - Yeovil Town
- Billy Rowley has been Yeovil Town manager since 25 November 2025 and has implemented a front-foot, possession-heavy 4-3-3 system, with a 3-4-3 wrinkle to overload the midfield.
- The hosts are in mixed to poor form (0 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5) but are unbeaten in 1 game at home (1 draw, 1 goal average) and will be hoping to bounce back on home turf.
Away - Gateshead
- Lee Cattermole has been in charge of The Heed since 16 June 2026 and has shown tactical versatility, with Gateshead shifting shapes and leaning on wide play and set pieces to score goals and cause problems in the opponent's penalty area.
- They are in poor form (1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from their last 5) but will hope to take advantage of Yeovil's recent slip up.
Head-to-Head
- The Heed have won the last 2 head-to-head meetings, most recently a 2-1 win at home to Yeovil Town in the National League 2025/2026.
- Yeovil have failed to win either of their last 2 home games against Gateshead, so the visitors will come into this one with a real psychological advantage.
Key Players
- Mason Obeng leads the National League 2026/2027 goalscoring chart for Yeovil with 1 goal in 2 games and looks the sharpest bet in the anytime goalscorer market.
- Alex Lankshear is Gateshead's top scorer in the National League 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 1 match and his impact should see The Heed edge ahead in this one.
Betting Insights
- The Glovers sit 15th in the National League 2026/2027 with 2 points from 2 games and are narrow favorites to beat Gateshead at 1.9, who are 9th with 3 points from 2 matches, but this is likely to be a tough game for either side on Saturday.
- Over 2.5 and Under 2.5 are both at 1.85 and the Both Teams to Score - No at 1.98 just edges it as the more appealing bet on the market.
Prediction
This should be a close game but Yeovil's home steadiness and the 1.9 betting line make them the more likely side to nick it.
