When playing at home in the Vanarama National League North, Chester have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.
Chester's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Hereford (placed 15th).
1-1 away at Spennymoor Town before that.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chester have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 5 and lost 5.
Chester have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium with 6 goals in 4 league matches. From these home matches, Chester have conceded only 2 goals.
Blyth Spartans form and stats
Playing away, Blyth Spartans have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the Vanarama National League North this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Blyth Spartans's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Liddle, McGowan (2) and Main scored in Spartans's previous match, the home game against Farsley Celtic that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Blyth Spartans was the only team on the pitch versus Farsley Celtic in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Boston United's place.Blyth Spartans are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
