There has still been no win in sight for Stevenage who can’t seem to halt their somewhat drastic slide down the league table. There has to be an opportunity for them in this one though as they face up to Chesterfield who are in the bottom two. But with that having been said, Chesterfield are carrying much better current form than Boro are.

ChesterfieldStevenage Form
It is eight games and counting now since Stevenage last won a league game. That was against Accrington back in mid-October and since then they are D3 L5. They have been losing by big margins and each of their last three defeats have been by a one-goal margin only. So they haven’t been drastically bad at the back. They have drawn each of their last three league games now and have lost only one of their last eight on home soil, so there should at least be a point on offer for them. They have averaged 1.6 goals per game on home soil and that should be enough to see them hold their own at least in this one. They have just been severely lacking clean sheets which will just put them at a little bit of risk.
Chesterfield Form
Chesterfield have done well recently after a miserable stretch of form from the start of the season through to mid-October. They have gone W3 D3 L1 in their last seven league games now, the loss coming last weekend out at Wycombe. So while they have given himself more than a fighting chance of getting safe, they have taken only the two points from their last four away games and have only gone W1 D3 L7 on their travels this season. So while they have scored at least two goals in five of their last seven league outings, they don’t have the winning form on the road to back up their chances in this one. The Spireites have managed just eleven goals away from home this season.
