Match Preview - Chester FC v Brackley Town

Tuesday, 1 February 2022 17:51

The Blues are in home action for the first time in a month this midweek, as second-placed Brackley visit the Deva.

Manager Steve Watson will be keen for his side to get back on track after three away games have brought three defeats. There were positives to take from the losses at Bradford (PA) and Curzon Ashton, but Saturday’s 4-0 loss to Boston United was a disappointing afternoon for the Blues.

Brackley Town meanwhile sit second in the table, just one point off the top. They have the best away record in the league with only two defeats from twelve matches.

Kick off on Tuesday night is 7.45pm.
