Crawley Town vs Chesterfield Predictions

Spireites can see off Crawley

Chesterfield look set to continue their good form when they visit Crawley at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday. The hosts are out of form, and Chesterfield manager Paul Cook will be confident of getting a result away to Colin Kazim-Richards’ side.

Chesterfield are eighth in League Two, 16 places and ten points above rock-bottom Crawley, with four wins, two draws and three defeats from their nine games, while the hosts have just one win so far.

Chesterfield kept up their recent winning trend with a 4-2 victory over Tranmere last weekend, dominating possession with 65.9%. Dilan Markanday put his side ahead on the quarter hour, and Josh Koroma struck twice, with Louie Marsh also getting on the scoresheet.

The away side are on a string of positive results – Chesterfield have won three of their last four League Two matches.

The home team have looked vulnerable at the back. Crawley have been unable to keep their opponents at bay in seven straight League Two games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six home games.

The home side’s recent form is a concern. Crawley have gone five games without recording a victory and have lost four of their last six League Two home games.

Chesterfield have been in fine form going forward, scoring in eight consecutive games. They have scored at least twice in four of their last five League Two matches, including a 4-2 win over Tranmere last weekend.

Crawley have lost their last three League Two home games. Chesterfield can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet.
