Chesterfield vs Barrow Predictions

• Barrow’s won just five away games last season
• Chesterfield were the second-top scorers in the division last term

Spireites on the up

Teams in recent years have had a big impact on League Two in their first season following the National League and Chesterfield almost secured promotion on their first campaign back at this level last season.

They look set to go even better this time around after a summer in which they have added to their experienced squad with some top players.

Zach Hemming impressed in the Scottish Premiership at St Mirren and will be between the sticks while Lee Bonis scored 11 goals in the Dutch second tier last term.

All in all they look set to contend for the title and should have little issue getting the better of Barrow in this curtain raiser.

Barrow’s road struggles to continue

The visitors won just five of their 23 road games last season and look set for another midtable finish this time around.

The Spireites did the double over these opponents last term and they are fancied to put play-off disappointment behind them with an opening day victory.

When they win, Chesterfield tend to win impressively. Ten of their 19 league victories in 2024-25 came by three or more goals and they should be able to overcome a goal deficit on the handicap.

Both of their victories over these opponents last season were to nil and they can win this one 3-0.
