Chesterfield prepare to entertain Morecambe at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. There have only been 1 against the opposition from the 3 matches played by the Spireites.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in January 2009, with Morecambe inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Spireites in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
The current home form displayed by Chesterfield is obviously none too clever, but, with the current standing of Morecambe, I firmly believe this match can only produce a victory for the Spireites. Home Win
