Chesterfield have only won twice so far and are in the bottom four - so they’ve got to be odds-on for the win.
Despite everything I’ve seen pointing to the opposite result, I’ll go for 2-0 to Notts with a brace from Cal Roberts to atone for missing that sitter at Halifax.
I'm very surprised Chesterfield are struggling again after a strong finish to pull themselves out of trouble last season.
Four of their six defeats have been against sides currently in the top 7, but to lose 6 out of 8 is pretty bad and losing their last game to Alrincham must have their fans now anticipating another battle against the drop.
Scoring isn't a problem, they've scored in every match (the 8th best average goals per game) and we haven't tended to do well there in more recent decades.
2-2

Chesterfield 0-1 Notts (Wootton)
After finally getting a result prediction right if not the scoreline, I am definitely on a roll now. Chesterfield have lost five out of the last six only beating bottom of the table Yeovil, so this is where our promotion march begins. Ardley gets his tactics right, we keep a clean sheet, we convert our one shot on goal, and laddo cancels his pitchfork order. As Yazz and the plastic population once said, the only way is up.
Saying that, the 13/5 on a Spireites win was too tempting to resist.
