History of the Chester City v Accrington Stanley fixture

Accrington S. face a trip to Chester City at The Deva Stadium on Friday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 16 out of 24 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2008, with Accrington S. inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the Blues in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Chester City's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Blues's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Accrington S.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the The Reds have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Chester City find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 20 points from their 21 matches. Accrington S. are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 19 from their 20 matches played.
