Chesterfield
DWLWLL
Chesterfield will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 League Two loss in their previous game against Swindon Town.
Kabongo Tshimanga (61') scored for Swindon Town.
It has been all too rare in recent times where Chesterfield have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Chesterfield have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 8 goals along the way. Nevertheless, weโll just have to find out whether such a trend shall be replicated in this next game or not.
Going into this contest, Chesterfield haven't been defeated in their previous 3 home league matches.
Crewe Alexandra

Prediction
Weโre thinking that Crewe Alexandra could find themselves up against it to hit the back of the net against this Chesterfield team who we reckon should end up scoring and staying ahead.
We therefore think that itโs going to be a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 winning score for Chesterfield when all is said and done.
Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
