The Vanarama National League North season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Gloucester City and Chester promises to be an interesting one.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Vanarama National League North.
Gloucester City form and stats
As mentioned below, Gloucester City are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Vanarama National League North games.
A nice win for Gloucester last time playing, versus Blyth Spartans. That was also a home game and the match ended 6-1 with M. McClure (3), T. O'Sullivan, B. Mensah and A. Asante scoring for the victors. A strong away win before that one, visiting Chorley and winning 2-1.
As mentioned above, Gloucester "killed" Blyth Spartans in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for M. McClure when beating Blyth Spartans, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Gloucester have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Gloucester City at home in the league. 9 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Chester form and stats
Things could have gone better for Chester in their Vanarama National League North away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Chester go into this game after a win, the home game against Curzon Ashton that ended 2-1. The game before that, in the FA Cup, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Marine.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chester playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Chester wins, two draws and five defeats.
It's early days yet, but Chester has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
