Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Spireites have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Mansfield Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.
Chesterfield's total of 31 points from their 19 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Mansfield Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 18 games have yielded only 13 points.
