There is optimism in Spennymoor Town so far this season, with their 3rd position in the Vanarama National League North table and looking forward to facing Chester (who are placed 15th).
- Spennymoor Town haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Chester have the fewest scored goals (0) away in Vanarama National League North
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Spennymoor Town form and stats
Spennymoor Town must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Vanarama National League North games here at The Brewery Field.
Spennymoor Town lost their last game at Blyth Spartans (placed 5th) after a 0-2 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten through three league fixtures.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Bishop's Stortford.This is expected to be a close game, with Spennymoor Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Spennymoor Town as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Spennymoor has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Spennymoor Town as they are travelling to their away game against Warrington Town in the Vanarama National League North. That match is three days after this one.
Goals decide football matches and Spennymoor are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Chester form and stats
It's not happening yet for Chester on their Vanarama National League North travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different?
Chester had fun at their own home (The Brewery Field) last time out, beating Farsley Celtic 2-0. Glendon and Whitehouse scored. That victory felt nice as this team had gone three league rounds without victory.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Scarborough Athletic wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.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 11 relevant matches. Results were 3 Chester wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.
