Recent respective form guides

Accrington Stanley's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Reds have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Spireites have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Accrington S. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 57 points from their 44 games played so far, Chesterfield lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 67 from their 44 games so far.
