Clash of the Tyneside Teams: Newcastle United and Gateshead Set for Preseason Battle
Key Stats
– Newcastle United finished fourth in the Premier League last season, securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League and marking a period of overachievement for the Magpies.
– Newcastle United boasted the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League last season, conceding just 33 goals, an achievement matched only by Manchester City.
In a highly anticipated preseason encounter, Newcastle United and Gateshead are gearing up to face each other in a local derby at the Gateshead International Stadium. With both teams looking to fine-tune their strategies ahead of the upcoming season, this match promises to provide an exciting display of football. In this article, we will analyse the performances of the two teams, delve into the provided data, and make three predictions for the match: a market prediction, a correct score prediction, and a goalscorer prediction.
Team Performances
Gateshead, a National League outfit, have already played two exhibition matches this summer, securing a 1-0 victory against Hebburn Town before narrowly losing 3-2 to Sunderland. Despite their defeat against Sunderland, Gateshead showcased their attacking capabilities by taking a two-goal lead in the match.

Led by player-coach Mike Williamson, who had a successful stint at Newcastle United, Gateshead finished 14th in the National League last season after overcoming a points deduction. On the other hand, Newcastle United enjoyed a remarkable campaign, finishing fourth in the Premier League and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. Under the guidance of manager Eddie Howe, Newcastle demonstrated solid defensive performances and reached the EFL Cup final.
Prediction 1: Market Prediction
A justifiable market prediction for this match is a victory for Newcastle United. The Magpies showcased their defensive solidity last season, conceding only 33 goals, which was the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League. Additionally, Newcastle’s attacking prowess, coupled with Gateshead’s vulnerabilities, suggests that the Premier League side is likely to dominate the match and secure a win. Backing Newcastle to win with two goals handicap looks the best bet.
Prediction 2: Correct Score Prediction
Considering the data and the performances of both teams, a plausible correct score prediction for this match would be a convincing 3-0 victory in favour of Newcastle United. Gateshead’s defensive resilience might be tested against a formidable Premier League side like Newcastle, which boasts an array of attacking talents. The Magpies’ ability to control possession, create scoring opportunities, and their solid defensive structure could lead to a comfortable win in this preseason encounter.
Prediction 3: Goalscorer Prediction
Among the talented players on the pitch, Newcastle United’s Callum Wilson stands out as a prolific goalscorer. Last season, Wilson was one of the key contributors for Newcastle, scoring 12 goals and providing 4 assists in the Premier League. Considering his goal-scoring ability and the quality service he receives from his teammates, it is highly likely that Wilson will make an impact in this match and even open the scoring for Newcastle United.
His clinical finishing and positioning inside the box make him a prime candidate to find the back of the net. Check out the latest before the match and if Wilson will play, it makes sense to back him to be first goalscorer as well.
