Recent respective form guides

Chesterfield's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Spireites have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Doncaster Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Rovers have hit 5 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Chesterfield are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 39 points from their 38 games thus far. Doncaster Rvs.'s 54 points from 38 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.
