Walsall vs Chesterfield Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Having recorded a very pleasing victory against Peterborough in their last home fixture, Walsall will have been disappointed to lose out at the weekend; however, against a Chesterfield team who’re really struggling to keep themselves afloat, the hosts have an excellent opportunity to bounce back.

Given just how poor the visiting team have been, coupled with how impressive Walsall have been on their own patch of late, backing ‘Walsall to Win’ is the way to go here.

They may well have lost at the weekend, but that doesn’t take anything away from the fact that Walsall have performed well at home lately. The hosts have won each of their last four games at Bescot Stadium, scoring 11 goals in the process. Considering that Chesterfield have failed to win any of their last seven on the road, losing five of those, it’s not hard to see Walsall enjoying another good afternoon in front of a home crowd.

Gary Caldwell’s men appeared to have steadied things slightly in drawing each of their last two on the road, but their miniature revival was cut short as they were thumped 4-0 at home on Saturday. The Spireites really are in trouble and it would appear that they’re only heading in one direction – towards League Two.

Although they’re some way off, if John Whitney’s men can put a run together then there’s every chance that they could make a late dash for the play-offs. Beating a Chesterfield side who’re looking more and more destined to go down as the each week passes, is the perfect place to start.
