Chesterfield prepare to entertain Rotherham United at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 19 wins out of 27 previous matches.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was just last season, in August 2005, with Rotherham U. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Spireites in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Spireites have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.
Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the The Millers have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Chesterfield see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 7 points from their 6 games played so far, Rotherham U. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only -3 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Chesterfield at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Spireites will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
