This league campaign has been a rollercoaster for these contenders so far, boom and bust resulting in mid-table places so far. Make ready for Kettering Town - Chester!
- Kettering Town have scored in all their matches so far.
- Chester have the most points from losing position (5) in Vanarama National League North
It's no vacation for neither Kettering nor Chester 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.
Kettering Town form and stats
1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Kettering Town have to build on here at Latimer Park in the Vanarama National League North.
Kettering's previous game was a FA Cup match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Leamington (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result.
A 3-3 draw away before that, with Leamington the opponent.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 Kettering have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won three times, drawn four and lost three.
Kettering are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Kettering's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Chester form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Vanarama National League North for Chester with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Chester has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Chester might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Marske United proved too strong as Chester slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium. Chester lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Marske United that ended 0-0.Chester are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, five draws and three defeats. From a total of nine matches.
Chester are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). The Chester defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 9 goals in their away games.
