Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Spireites have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Rochdale however, is much more impressive, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the Dale, and 6 goals against.
Chesterfield are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 61 points from 38 games. Rochdale are leading the way in the Coca-Cola League Two, with their 37 games giving them a return of 78 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Spireites at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Dale come away with an easy victory. Away win
