Chester form and stats

8-9-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League North numbers at home for Chester so far this season. Three draws in a row here at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium for Chester, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

A good away victory last time out for Chester, who won 1-0 against Kettering Town (placed 20th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of McIntyre when Stephenson scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Farsley Celtic.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Chester have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Chester are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 30 goals in 22 games. From these home matches, Chester have conceded only 21 goals.
