Recent respective form guides

Chester City's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. Blues have conceded a disappointing 11 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Accrington S.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the The Reds have hit 6 goals, 18 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Chester City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 37 points from their 29 games played so far, Accrington S. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 33 points from their 29 matches.
