They saw off Preston on penalties after a 1-1 draw and beat Doncaster 2-1 after extra-time.
Rams Academy manager Darren Wassall said: "Gateshead have pulled off two shocks already, so we will not be underestimating them. We will treat them with the respect they deserve.
"They are a very good side and the players will be told in no uncertain terms not to take them lightly."
Admission for Rams season-ticket holders is free' while non-season ticket holders will be charged £3.
