Chesterfield vs Kings Lynn Town Predictions

• Chesterfield are unbeaten in their last 13 games, and haven’t lost all season at home. The Spireites average over two goals per game at home in the National League this season.
• King’s Lynn have lost their last five away league games, failing to score in four of those, and shipping 13 goals.
• Chesterfield striker Kabongo Tshimanga has 18 goals in 19 league appearances this season.

Spireites a sure bet to overwhelm strugglers

National League leaders Chesterfield were forced to rescue a late draw against title rivals Halifax Town in midweek, a result which extended their unbeaten run to 13 games in all competitions, and maintained this season’s unbeaten home league record.

Their New Year’s Day fixture against King’s Lynn should be a far more straightforward assignment; the visitors sit second-bottom of the National League, above only crisis club Dover Athletic, and have just three wins in 19 matches this term. While King’s Lynn did defeat Dover in early December, that is the only time they’ve avoided defeat in their last 10 outings.

King’s Lynn have lost five away games on the spin, failing to score on four occasions and shipping 13 goals in those matches. Chesterfield, meanwhile, average over two goals per game at home this season, and can call upon the lethal Kabongo Tshimanga, who has 18 goals in 19 league appearances this season.

Back hosts on the handicap

Backing Chesterfield is the only way to go for this New Year’s Day fixture, but a dabble on the handicap market is required if punters want to secure any kind of value. King’s Lynn have been beaten by two goals or more on six occasions this term, including a 2-0 loss at Chesterfield back in August.

Backing Chesterfield to overcome a -1 handicap, which they’ve done 11 times in all competitions this season, looks the best available play, with a 3-0 home win a decent correct score prediction.

Backing Tshimanga to continue his hot streak, meanwhile, is a strong play for those who fancy a go on the goalscorer markets.
