The season is still fairly new and the Vanarama National League North table has to be read with caution. So far York City find themselves in 9th position and Chester are placed 5th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
York City form and stats
Only two Vanarama National League North home games for York City so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
The spoils were shared in York's previous game, also at home. Visiting Brackley Town (placed 18th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Chorley in the FA Cup.
The manager S. Watson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Southport in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the York City at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 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 3 games is all right. Chester seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Two away games in a row for Chester, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Gloucester City in the Vanarama National League North. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Curzon Ashton.
After this away game Chester return home for a Vanarama National League North game against Hereford. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Chester have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. In the opposite end, Chester have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
