Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Spireites have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Bantams's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.
Chesterfield's total of 30 points from their 17 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Bradford City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 20 points from their 18 matches.
