This match features two teams living in the basement of the Vanarama National League, Wrexham holding 21st place and Chorley lying 23rd. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Wrexham form and stats

Wrexham have played 13 Vanarama National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-5-3 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager D. Keates led his Wrexham to a defeat in the Vanarama National League match away at Sutton United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Racecourse Ground. Prior to that, an away loss at Halifax Town in the Fa Trophy.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Wrexham matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats (from seven games).

There will be little rest for Wrexham after this match as they are travelling to Maidenhead United for a Vanarama National League game in only two days.

Wrexham has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.

Chorley form and stats

There's been little loot from Chorley's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Vanarama National League. Chorley only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 7 draws.

Chorley delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Dover Athletic (placed 15th) in their previous match; a Vanarama National League game. A draw for Chorley before that, at their own venue hosting Matlock Town (2-2).

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Chorley playing away, we found four games. Results were 1 away win, 3 draws and 0 home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Chorley are hosting Harrogate Town in the Vanarama National League only two days away.

Chorley are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 13 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Chorley have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
