Chester FC welcome Chorley at The 1885 Arena, Chester, Cheshire on Tuesday, Dec 8 at 8:45 PM in a National League – North fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Chester FC come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Chorley, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Chester FC and Chorley have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Chorley won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Chester FC win or a draw looks most likely.
