Boreham Wood vs Chesterfield Predictions

Can Boreham Wood move up the table with a victory over Chesterfield on Tuesday night? The hosts managed to make the top four in the National League last season, but they were unable to win the play-offs. Their attempts at repeating that form haven’t quite come off so far, as they sit mid-table at this early stage of the season. They could be overtaken by Chesterfield on Tuesday, with the hosts not too far behind them in the table. Can the hosts pick up a victory in front of their home support and close in on the top spots?

The hosts won’t be overjoyed with Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Braintree. However, Boreham Wood have lost just twice in their opening eight games of the campaign. Their home form has been incredibly consistent, as they’re yet to lose at their own ground this season. Can they continue that run against the newly relegated Chesterfield in midweek? Both sides will surely be hunting for a place in the play-offs this term, but if the hosts continue their strong home record then they could dent the Spireites’ chances.

The visitors made a winning start to life in the National League. Three straight wins to nil looked like the perfect way to open up, until things turned for them. Since then, the visitors have lost their last five matches at this level, including three straight away trips. After that awful run, the visitors have averaged just 0.75 points per game this season, and their hopes of making an immediate return to the fourth tier are looking quite slim.

Given the form of the pair, it’s not hard to see the hosts are favourites. This is exactly the kind of tough trip which will make life difficult for Chesterfield, and they head in to Tuesday clash as outsiders. They’re heading to a side who had a strong record at home in the National League last term, taking 55% of their points at their own ground. The hosts finished the regular season last time out with back to back wins, and they’ve kicked off with a solid record at home, winning two and drawing two.

They should add another victory on Tuesday, with the Spireites in dreadful form. Their losing streak doesn’t fill us with confidence, and after three straight losses on the road we think it’s worth backing against the visitors in this one. Boreham Wood look like value to continue their home form, so we’re backing them to add to Chesterfield’s misery with a 2-1 victory in this encounter.
