Preview
Newcastle will be returning to competitive football for the 1st time since their EPL season ended last month.
After a poor start to the new season which saw them in the relegation zone, Newcastle managed to turn things around and ensured a 11th place finish in the recently completed season.
Change in Management and ownership saw them get back to their best and survive the poor start.
Now with the additions to their side, the Magpies aim to compete against England’s top sides for a Premier League title.
Post this, Newcastle meets 1860 Munchen, Mainz, Benfica, Atalanta and Athletic Club in their remaining pre-season matches.
They will be eyeing victories in all to get themselves set for another competitive EPL campaign.
On the other hand, Gateshead won the National league North last season to seal promotion to the National League.
Gateshead secured 94 points from 42 matches with 29 wins to end their campaign on a high and are unbeaten in their last 7 matches.
The Tynesiders will be looking to gain valuable game time and revitalize their batteries ahead of the next season through the pre-season.
They have just 2 friendlies to get their act together and will face Harrogate Town next week.
The last time Newcastle faced Gateshead was in a club friendly in 2015 which the Magpies won 1-0.

Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Gateshead FC
The Toon Army will be under the pump to get cracking this season after the brilliant turnaround last time out. Gateshead also head into this game as champions.
However, we expect a game not filled with fireworks given the long break and players return. But we should see Newcastle gaining the upper hand in this one as their players are far more experienced and capable of getting the result.
