Eastleigh vs Chesterfield Predictions

• Eastleigh have won their last three home games, scoring ten times in the process.
• Eastleigh are unbeaten in ten of their 12 home league games this term.
• Chesterfield suspended their manager during the week in controversial circumstances.

Eastleigh love their home comforts

While Eastleigh are currently nursing a four game losing streak, a case can be made for them on home form alone. The hosts picked up 24 of their 31 point haul here at the Silverlake Stadium while going unbeaten in 83% of their home league outings.

The Spitfires have scored 21 of their 26 league goals at home and have actually won their last two outings here despite falling behind in one. All of the aforementioned stats suggest that Eastleigh will be ecstatic to return home after four straight road defeats.

Crisis at Chesterfield

While Chesterfield sit just one point from the peak of the table with a game in hand at the time of writing, the developments during the past week have been far from confidence boosting for the visitors.

Manager James Rowe has been suspended pending investigation, which could destabilise the squad further after they failed to win back-to-back games ahead of this one. It makes you wonder if the odds on price on the away win could be too short in the circumstances.

Overall, I predict Eastleigh’s buoyant home form to continue against a disrupted Chesterfield outfit. Given their generous price in the win-draw-win market, I suggest backing Eastleigh via draw no bet for some insurance, though I am going for a 3-2 home win.
