Venue: The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium (4100 seats)

Game week two of the Vanarama National League North season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Chorley - Gloucester City preview:

It's no vacation for neither Chorley nor Gloucester City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Chorley form and stats

The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts. Chorley are slowly digging their own grave here at The Chorley Group Victory Park Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Dagenham & Redbridge match.

This is expected to be a close game, with Chorley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Chorley as a small favourite), we find eight games. Chorley has won three of these, drawn two and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as York City are coming to town in three days.

Last season, Chorley's league statistics were 4 wins, 14 draws and 20 losses, resulting in a 24th position in the National League. Over these 38 matches they scored 31 goals and conceded 65. Playing at home last season Chorley managed 3-5-11 (win-draw-lost) with 13 goals and 30 conceded.

Gloucester City form and stats

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gloucester City playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were two Gloucester wins, one draw and zero defeats.

Let's have a look at how Gloucester City performed last season in the Vanarama National League South: They landed a 19th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 6 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 39 and conceded 57 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 3 and lost 10 with 18/39 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Chorley won one game, two matches ended with a draw and Gloucester City has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / two
