Chesterfield have put back to back wins together out of the blue to keep themselves out of the relegation zone. They still have a great deal to sweat on though as they are not clear of troubles by any stretch of the imagination. Stevenage were frustrated in a draw on the weekend at home against Carlisle which leaves them milling around the bottom half of the table. As a positive, they have now managed to avoid defeat in three league outings.

StevenageChesterfield Form
Back to back wins for Chesterfield have given them a great lifeline towards staying up this season. They are still in danger though as they head to the weekend just a point clear of the drop zone, but that is a renewed belief of survival that will have. It’s been a big return from them as they had taken just one point from their previous six played. The question is whether or not they can keep that momentum going now. They have been pretty steady on home soil recently with a W4 D2 L1 in their last seven in the league at the Proact Stadium. Their last win there was over league leaders Luton which was a huge upset. They have been struggling for goals recently so this is all a sudden upturn in overall form for them and this will probably go under 2.5 goals. Just 43% of their home games have managed to get over the goal line.
Stevenage Form
Even though wins have still been hard to come by for Stevenage, they have at least remained unbeaten in their last three games. Most of their form though has happened at home and they only have the one point in their last nine games out on the road in the bag. That was in a 1-1 draw with Morecambe in their last away fixture in League Two. So it’s been a miserable run of away form for them (overall W3 D2 L9 this season on the road) and they have been low-scorers on their travels. Across their 14 away games, Stevenage have managed only the 10 goals at an average of 0.7 per game. Just 36% of their away games have made it over 2.5 goals and it’s been desperately poor from them. Six of their nine away defeats though have come by just a one-goal margin and they don’t have a clean sheet in any of their last nine.
Head to Head News
There is only a brief head to head history between the two of them and from it, things are even after Stevenage produced a cracking 5-1 home win over the Spireites earlier this season. From the five previous meetings, there have been one win each and three drawn matches. Chesterfield have four points from their previous two home league games against Stevenage and they both were under 2.5 goals.

Top Betting Tip Chesterfield v Stevenage
Stevenage haven’t been so great that they won’t be in peril in this match. Chesterfield have really given themselves a massive boost in their last couple of games and can probably go out and stick a point on the board in this. Seeing them win three games in a row is a stretch, but they can hold their own to avoid defeat.
