- Gateshead haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chester and Gateshead.
Chester form and stats
As mentioned below, Chester are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Vanarama National League North games.
Chester drew their last game, 2-2 away at Farsley Celtic (placed 17th). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Brackley Town the opponent.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Vanarama National League North game versus Alfreton Town in only three days. This game is also played here at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium.
Early season league goal statistics from Chester's 2 home games: 5 goals, 3 conceded.
Gateshead form and stats
Things could have gone better for Gateshead in their Vanarama National League North away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Gateshead seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Gateshead are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Vanarama National League North against Gloucester City (placed 1st). That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Southport.
The schedule is very tough for Gateshead now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League North game at Darlington is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Gateshead have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Chester two wins, one draw and Gateshead seven victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
