GATESHEAD, England (Interstat) — Gateshead will look to extend its recent dominance over Morecambe when the two sides meet in a National League fixture at the Gateshead International Stadium on Wednesday.

The hosts enter the match with momentum, having won their last two league contests. They secured a 2-1 victory at Truro City last Saturday, preceded by a 2-1 win at Halifax Town on Feb. 17. Their form, however, has been inconsistent since the turn of the year, with five losses in their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Morecambe arrives on the back of a spectacular result, a 4-0 home thrashing of Eastleigh on Feb. 21. That performance marked a stark contrast to the team’s struggles throughout much of the winter. Prior to that win, the Shrimps endured a brutal stretch, including a 5-1 loss at Southend United and a 6-2 defeat at Kidderminster. They have not won consecutive matches since December.

The head-to-head record heavily favors Gateshead, which delivered a stunning 5-2 away victory at Morecambe when the teams last met on Sept. 30, 2025.

A statistical projection by Interstat forecasts a 2-1 victory for Gateshead, suggesting a tight contest likely decided by fine margins. The result could prove pivotal for both clubs as they navigate a congested league schedule.

Following this match, Gateshead will prepare for a home fixture against Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. Morecambe’s attention will turn to a home match against York City on Feb. 28 as they seek to build on their recent explosive offensive showing and climb the table.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time.
