3rd position in the Vanarama National League North table for Chester so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 10th-placed Alfreton Town visits Lookers Vauxhall Stadium.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium as Chester have scored 17 goals to get 14 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Vanarama National League North are 4-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Chester drew their last game, 1-1 away at Brackley Town (placed 7th). Before that game, the home loss against York City with the scoreline 0-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
