vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Lower Breck head into this FA Cup second qualifying round tie, a straight knockout fixture with no league table involved, on the back of three wins and two defeats in their last five matches: the 2-3 defeat at Stalybridge Celtic was preceded by a 5-1 home win over Thornaby, before that a 4-0 home win over North Ferriby, a 3-1 away win at Shifnal Town FC and, further back, a 2-3 defeat to Newcastle Town. Chester's recent form is more modest, no wins, two draws and three defeats in their last five: the 1-3 defeat at Buxton follows a 0-1 home defeat to Merthyr Town, preceded by a 1-1 away draw at Hebburn Town, a 0-1 defeat to Morecambe and, further back, a 1-1 draw at Hereford. There is no recorded head to head history between the two sides. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
