A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

Notts County v Chesterfield
Football : England: League Two
Venue: Meadow Lane
Friday 15th May 2026, 2000hrs (GMT)

---

Notts County also gained a 1st leg lead in last week’s play-off 1st leg away from home at local rivals Chesterfield with a 1-0 win but The Magpies know they still have a fight on their hands despite holding home advantage at Meadow Lane on Friday night.

A previous 1-0 win away from home at Colchester United along with a point on the final day of the League Two season in a 1-1 draw at home with Bristol Rovers means Notts County bring a three-game unbeaten run into this return leg but recent results overall in the latter stages of this season have been a little inconsistent.

Notts County have been handed four defeats within their last nine matches in the domestic fourth tier with losses to Oldham Athletic, Salford City, Cambridge United and Barnet respectively, although The Magpies possess an overall home record of 13-4-6 45/25.

Chesterfield’s impressive eight-game unbeaten sequence in the run-in towards the end of this season’s League Two campaign finally came to an end to their rivals Notts County in last week’s 1st leg tie but nevertheless, Spireites boss, Paul Cook, knows his side are capable of gaining a result at Meadow Lane on Friday night.

Six wins within Chesterfield’s preceding eight games before last week’s 1st leg includes picking up three of these six victories on the road with wins registered at Accrington Stanley, Barrow and a final day of the season 2-1 win at Swindon Town.

Chesterfield also finished up with the third-best record away from home in League Two with an impressive record standing at 10-8-5 33/32, so this will give the visitors a welcome boost ahead of Friday night.
