Chesterfield vs Chorley Predictions

Chesterfield held Ebbsfleet United to a 2-2 draw in the National League last time out and will be hoping to put some more distance between themselves and the relegation zone this weekend by picking up three points at home to Chorley. The visitors sit bottom of the National League table, are eight points adrift of safety, and head into Saturday’s clash on the back of three straight league defeats.

All of the stats suggest that Chesterfield are best placed to claim all three points this weekend and we’ve backed the hosts to win the game 1-0.

These two teams have never locked horns before but their form heading into Saturday’s clash suggests that the hosts are most likely to win, as Chesterfield have won three of their last six matches and Chorley have lost their last four games in all competitions.

The performances of both teams at home and on the road leading into this weekends match-up add weight to our prediction for a 1-0 home win, as under 2.5 goals were produced in four of Chesterfield’s last five and three of Chorley’s last six matches. The visitors have failed to score in four of their last six away games while Chesterfield have scored one goal in six of their nine home games this season.

Chesterfield have won three of their last five home games and Chorley haven’t won on the road this season, providing even more reason to back a Chesterfield victory this weekend. Chorley’s goal difference of -21 is by far the worst in the National League this season, eleven goals worse than Ebbsfleet or Fylde both of whom are also embroiled in the relegation battle this season.

We’re confident that Chesterfield will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts head into the game as the clear form favourites, losing just one of their last six matches in all competitions. Chorley are in the midst of a losing streak and have failed to score in three of their last six matches, which is why we’ve backed the visitors to lose 1-0 this weekend.
