Chester vs Darlington tips and predictions

Jury's still out in National League North match

All results are on the table here so take all the reasonable steps to understand how they match up. The suspicion is that this will be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go mad about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Denying their recent opponents, Chester haven't conceded during their most recent 3 home matches, while Darlington have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 games.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 2 of the last 4 have finished on level terms.

The match could unfold into a game of tiny margins with the two sides ultimately cancelling each other out. In which case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.

Chester have drawn 7 of their last 16 matches, most recently when they drew 0-0 with Hanley Town at home last week. Darlington have drawn 8 of their last 19 away games. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be on one's guard about. Stalemate beckons after what will probably be a close encounter.
