Swindon vs Chesterfield Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Swindon and Chesterfield are two teams who’re trying to stay in League One; however, as things stand, they’re both experiencing plenty of difficulties in doing so. At this moment in time, of the two, it would appear as though Swindon are more likely to stay up as they have an eight point head start on their opposition here.

Until recently, Swindon were struggling for both wins and goals, but having won each of their last two fixtures, scoring three times in both, they’ve really picked up and will likely be a lot higher on confidence than they were a few short weeks ago – something that can’t be said for Chesterfield. On this basis, backing the hosts to win here looks the soundest bet.

If Swindon can recreate the performance which saw them topple Coventry in pretty convincing fashion, they really ought to have enough about them to get the better of a Chesterfield side who’re seemingly getting closer and closer to League Two with each passing week.

The big positive for the hosts here is their defensive record. Considering they’re in the bottom four right now, the fact that Swindon have conceded just 16 goals is quite baffling. Having said this, such defensive solidity in front of their own fans could be what saves them. If Luke William’s men can continue to keep things tight against a Chesterfield side who’re very much struggling for goals on the road, then they should be coming out on top here.

Away from home, Chesterfield have been nothing short of abysmal this season. They’ve won just once and have lost 12 of their other 16. At this stage, with The Spireites sitting 11 points from safety, it appears as though they’ve blown it and will be plying their trade in the fourth tier next season.

Swindon aren’t likely to get a much better chance of securing three points at home again this season and are expected to grab the opportunity with both hands.
