Recent respective form guides

Rotherham United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Millers have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Spireites have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Rotherham U.'s total of 58 points from their 37 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Chesterfield lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 57 from their 37 games so far.
