Chesterfield vs Weymouth Predictions

• Chesterfield have lost just once this season, scoring 27 goals in 14 games.
• Weymouth have the fourth worst defence in the National League this campaign, and have conceded 16 goals in 7 away games.
• 11 of Weymouth’s 15 points to date have been earned against teams below them in the table.

Chesterfield Should Strengthen Promotion Charge

Chesterfield could go top of the National League by maintaining their strong start to the campaign at home to Weymouth on Saturday afternoon. The Spireites have lost just once in their first 14 league games, and have won 4 of their last 5 matches at the Technique Stadium.

Although visiting Weymouth have picked up 7 points from their last 3 games, those results have come against 3 of the 6 teams currently below them in the table.  In fact, just 4 of the Dorset club’s tally of 15 points have been earned against sides above them in the league, and Weymouth have perhaps been fortunate to have already played 5 of the National League’s bottom 6.

Comfortable Afternoon Expected for Hosts

The in-form hosts should simply have too much for their visitors on Saturday; Chesterfield’s Congolsese striker Kabongo Tshimanga hit 19 goals in consecutive National League seasons before joining the Spireites this summer, and has already struck 12 times this campaign.

Considering the firepower available to Chesterfield, who possess the league’s joint second best attack after netting 27 goals so far this season, a comfortable home victory seems the most likely outcome, leading me to predict a 3-0 home win, with Chesterfield to score over 2.5 goals seeming a very strong tip. Tshimanga will be looking to extend his lead in the goalscoring charts, and is the outstanding pick in the goalscorer markets.
