Where to watch: Gateshead v Southend United – Fans can stream this important National League fixture live at 15:00 UK time exclusively on DAZN.
Match Overview
Gateshead have carved out a solid position in the National League table, buoyed by a relentless attacking style at the International Stadium. Manager Mike Williamson’s side thrive on quick transitions, led by midfielder Ryan Donaldson and frontman Josh Mitchell, who have combined for 10 goals this season. The Heed’s defensive record is equally impressive, conceding fewer than a goal per game on home soil.
Southend United, known as the Shrimpers, arrive in search of back-to-back wins after a morale-boosting victory against Stockport County. Under manager Kevin Maher, the Essex club rely on loanee striker Charlie Kelman’s sharp finishing and the industrious wing play of Sean Shields. With a play-off push still firmly in view, Southend will be desperate to pick up points on their travels.

Despite Southend’s counter-attacking threat led by Kelman, our forecast sees Gateshead emerging victorious in a narrow contest. The likely scoreline is a 2-1 win for the home side, driven by the Heed’s first-half dominance and an opportunistic late strike to seal the points.
