History of the Chester City v Barnet fixture

Barnet face a trip to Chester City at The Deva Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2007, with Chester City running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Chester City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Barnet's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Bees have hit 4 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Chester City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 3 matches. Barnet are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 0 from their 3 matches played.
