Recent respective form guides

Chester City's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Blues have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Mansfield Town's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Stags have hit 4 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Chester City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only -24 points. Mansfield Town are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 12 points from 5 games.
