Chesterfield prepare to entertain Sheffield Wednesday at Recreation Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Spireites are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 3 of the 15 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Recreation Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2004, with Chesterfield running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Spireites have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Sheff. Wed.'s away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The Owls, and 6 goals against.
Chesterfield's 43 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Sheff. Wed. are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 52 points from 32 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Spireites at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Owls come away with an easy victory. Away win
