⚽ Football Bet of the Day
Gateshead vs Altrincham
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Over 2.5 Goals | |
23/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Sweden’s attacking depth and Slovenia’s strong home form should combine for an entertaining encounter in Ljubljana. With Gyökeres and Šeško both capable of decisive moments, and both defences vulnerable, goals feel almost certain. Over 2.5 goals offers the clearest value as these sides chase a key win in their qualification. | |

Rationale:
Our pick for Wednesday focuses on the National League clash at the Gateshead International Stadium, where two sides with contrasting strengths and weaknesses collide.
Gateshead, known as the Heed, enter this fixture unbeaten in their last three outings, having scored freely but also conceding at an alarming rate. Alun Armstrong’s men were hammered 4-0 by Rochdale last month, yet they have responded with two wins and a 3-3 thriller against Aldershot. Their attacking play has been buoyed by wingers Kain Odom and Kyle Hurst, who have chipped in with three goals apiece, but their defence remains a glaring issue. With 14 goals conceded in six matches, no side in the division has been more porous at the back, and that vulnerability cannot be ignored.
Altrincham, meanwhile, have endured a stuttering start. Phil Parkinson’s Robins have collected just two victories from six league games and are still chasing their first point away from home. Their last three road trips have each ended in 2-1 defeats, demonstrating both their ability to find the net and their tendency to switch off defensively. Jimmy Knowles, with two goals and an assist, offers threat in attack, while Charlie Kirk is pressing for more minutes after cameo appearances. Encouragingly, Altrincham have a fine record at this ground, claiming back-to-back away wins over Gateshead, including a 1-0 success earlier this year.
The balance of form suggests an open game with goals on both sides. Gateshead’s free-flowing forward play almost guarantees chances, but their fragile defence should give Altrincham opportunities of their own. With both managers under pressure to push up the table, neither will settle for a cagey affair. The Robins’ dreadful away form means they are unlikely to hold out, but given their recent success in this fixture, they can still trouble the home side.
Taking all of this into account, the most compelling play is to back Gateshead to edge a high-scoring contest, with both sides getting on the scoresheet.
✅ Best Bet: Gateshead to win & both teams to score
