It's back home for Chester, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Southport away with the result 2-1. Willoughby and Whitehouse found the net in that victory.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Chorley that ended 0-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Chester matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat (from 8 games).

Farsley Celtic form and stats

There's been little loot from Farsley Celtic's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 21 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Farsley Celtic only have 4 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 5 draws. Farsley Celtic has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There might be some fixture complaints from Farsley as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 0-4 against Boston United. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Boston United was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Brackley Town.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Farsley Celtic playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 4 home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Farsley Celtic are hosting Blyth Spartans in the Vanarama National League North only three days away.

The Farsley manager Wilcox has some worries about the defense as 43 goals have been conceded in these travels. Farsley Celtic has visited these top teams seven times, and 5 of 7 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Chester have pulled off a sequence of 6 consecutive games without losing (3-3-0) when facing Farsley Celtic.

The fixture history shows this score when the teams faced each other previously this season; Farsley Celtic - Chester 0-2.
