Yeovil
ChesterfieldYeovil Form
Yeovil have collected just the two wins for themselves since the start of November and have managed just the one point in their last three games. At home, they have collected a W5 D4 L4 record for the season, but the Glovers have won just one of their last five at Huish Park in League Two. They are having issues at the back and they have conceded in each of their last five home games, but actually, their average is just 1.08 goal per game against on home soil this season which is pretty good. So why are they near the foot of the table? It is because of their poor away form. Yeovil have actually scored at least two goals in each of their five home wins this season and three of those wins were by a clean sheet. Yeovil to win to nil may just be worth a little flutter here in a crucial game against the Spireites.
Chesterfield Form
Chesterfield are on a four-match losing streak away from home and during that sequence, they have managed to score just the one goal. They are W1 D1 L5 in their last seven games overall and they failed to score in five of those as well. So they may not threaten Yeovil too much. As bad a Yeovil’s away form has been this season, that of the Spireites is even worse. They have a W1 D3 L10 record this season on their travels and have to be at risk again in this one. A loss in this one will really leave them in a tough position as they are starting third from bottom, four points back of Yeovil who are one spot above them. But on the other hand, this is a big chance at three points to put a bigger gap between themselves and the bottom two. But with them having conceded an average of 2.3 goals per away game this season, getting that win is a pretty tall order.
Head to Head News
There have been plenty of goals between these two recently. Three of the last four meetings have been settled by a 3-2 scoreline, with Yeovil winning two of those. The Glovers are 4-3 up with three drawn matches in their ten previous fixtures against Chesterfield. Yeovil though are W2 D2 at home in their four previous home games against the Spireites.
