Chesterfield prepare to entertain Morecambe at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Spireites have drawn one game and lost the other.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was just last season, in November 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Chesterfield, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
