Fleetwood Town v Chesterfield
Football : England: League Two
Venue: Highbury Stadium

---

Fleetwood Town bounced back from recent back-to-back losses at the hands of Bristol Rovers and Barnet respectively last time out in League Two thanks to last weekend’s 2-1 win away from home at Lancashire rivals, Accrington Stanley.

Despite suffering three defeats in recent times in League Two including a previous 1-0 loss away from home at Grimsby Town, the wider picture shows Fleetwood Town have been a tough side to beat under manager Matt Lawlor as the Cod Army have been dealt just three defeats in their last 14 matches.

In addition, 15th placed Fleetwood Town possess a reasonable looking record on home soil at their Highbury Stadium of 8-7-6 32/32 so far this season which includes losing just once in their last six home games.

Chesterfield occupy the last of the play-off spots ahead of this weekend’s action in League Two as The Spireites sit in 7th place in the fourth tier table and the visitors bring a solid looking five-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter at the Highbury Stadium.

Four wins within these last five games will no doubt give Paul Cook’s side plenty of confidence especially as two of these four victories were achieved on their travels with wins collected on the road at Accrington Stanley and Barrow.

However, an overall away record standing at 9-7-5 30/30 suggests an element of inconsistency on their travels for Chesterfield, particularly in recent times at Highbury Stadium.

The Betting Verdict

Indeed, Fleetwood Town have won the last three meetings at home on the trot against Chesterfield and the hosts look capable of at least avoiding defeat here.

Fleetwood Town 1-1 Chesterfield
