Chesterfield vs Bristol Rovers Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

These two teams have reversed roles somewhat of late. Chesterfield have actually embarked on a mini-revival of sorts and have now won three of their last five in all-competitions, while Bristol Rovers are without a win in any of their last five, losing three of those.

The bet to go for here, at odds of 5/6, is ‘Over 2.5 Goals’. The goals have flown in this pair’s respective home and away matches of late, not to mention in their matches overall and this trend is fancied to continue when they face each other on Saturday.

At least three goals have been scored in four of the last five Chesterfield matches, while more than two goals hit the net in three of the last five Bristol Rovers games. In addition, an ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ bet would’ve returned a winner in three of the last five Chesterfield home matches as well as 67% of their home matches overall, while the same can be said for 56% of Bristol Rovers away matches this season.

Chesterfield were involved in a high-scoring match last time out when they beat MK Dons 3-2 away from home. Such a result should have given the hosts plenty of confidence and they are fancied to approach this match in attacking fashion, especially considering their opponents have been leaking plenty of goals lately. The visitors were thumped 5-1 at home by Charlton in mid-week but, against a side who’re not great at the back, they could easily bounce back and should certainly get plenty of chances in this one.

All in all, both of these sides have goals in them on their day, while neither are solid at the back. With this in mind, a high-scoring game is fancied.
