This is a real basement battle between the bottom two in League Two. Chesterfield, despite having put together a good unbeaten streak of form go into the weekend at the bottom of the League Two table. There is every chance that they will get out of the drop zone with a win in this one. Barnet are level on 17 points with the Spireites, but their current form doesn’t stand up anywhere near to that of their opponents. Chesterfield are 7/5 to take the win, with Barnet out at 19/10.

Chesterfield
Barnet FCChesterfield Form
The Spireites are looking as if they can hold their own at the moment and are now five games unbeaten in the division (W3 D2). So after their really poor run of form from the start of the season which saw them win one of their first thirteen games, it has definitely been an upward swing from them with a W3 D3 L1 record in their last seven. They are unbeaten in three games on home soil now after landing back to back wins over Exeter and Forest Green. Both were by a one-goal margin. Chesterfield now have actually scored at least two goals in four of their last five league games. It was a long time coming but they are going along in good form at the moment.
Barnet Form
The Bees don’t have great form with four defeats in their last five games. They have won only one of their last fourteen League Two fixtures now and are in a mess. They are W2 D2 L6 out on the road this season and have lost five of their last six away games. The goals just aren’t there for them and they have failed to score in three of their last four and that makes Chesterfield to win to nil look a good option. Barnet have been losing at half time in exactly half of their ten away games this season and 61% of the goals they have conceded this season have been in the second half of games.
Head to Head News
The last time that these two were together in league competition was back in the 2012/13 League Two season and they traded away wins on that occasion. From the ten previous League Two contests, Chesterfield are W5 D3 L2 against Barnet so are up in the head to head.
Top Betting Tips
Chesterfield should be great value to back to win this home game. They have started to come good and what an opportunity to give themselves a bit of salvation by sinking the out of form Bees at the same time. This is an opportunity not to be missed and the Spireites just to win outright is hugely appealing.
