Accrington are still pushing strongly in the top three of League Two despite a slip in midweek when they fell to a bit of a shock home defeat against Grimsby. That may have just knocked a bit of complacency out of them though and they could be fired up for this trip to Chesterfield. The Spireites are having a tough old time of things down near the drop zone with just the one win on the board this season and their defence continuing to let them down. Chesterfield are 5/2 underdogs at the Proact Stadium with the visiting Accrington at 11/10.

They slipped up surprisingly in midweek though at home but should be strong enough to bounce back. Away from home, they have gone W1 D1 L1, winning their last away game out at Morecambe. They are without a clean sheet in any of their away games this season, but they have scored in all seven of their league outings this term.
Chesterfield Form:
The Spireites start the weekend fourth from bottom and have just the one win to their name. They are winless in their last four games now. Away from home though they have really struggled with just the one point from their four games. They have conceded a massive twelve goals in their four road trips this season. They did manage to stop their losing away rot with a 1-1 draw at Colchester in midweek.
