Match week two of the Vanarama National League North season and the contenders have had a few days to digest the first game. Here's our Chester - King's Lynn Town guide:

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Chester form and stats

In the previous season, Chester's league statistics were 22 wins, 18 draws and 6 losses, providing 3rd position in the Vanarama National League North. During these 46 matches they scored {72 goals} and gave away 41. Playing as the home side in the last season Chester generated 9-9-5 (win-draw-lost) with {34 goals} and 21 conceded.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 189 minutes without scoring a league goal. N’Mai was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Chester in their previous match, an away game at Bishop's Stortford that ended in defeat 0-2.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Buxton in a game that was won 4-0.

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 10 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 1 and lost 2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Chester, as the Vanarama National League North home game vs Chorley is only three days away.
