Chesterfield needs a crucial boost in points to close the gap on the top seven teams.

The distance to the 7th spot has now widened to eight points, making their need for a win even greater, especially after managing just one victory in their last five matches. The absence of their main striker, Grigg, has also impacted their performances, with the team struggling in the eight matches without him.

However, their home record remains solid, having collected 22 points with a goal difference of 20:15 across 14 matches. Given this, we expect Chesterfield to push for all three points in this game.

That said, it won’t be an easy task against Doncaster, who sit second in the standings and boast an impressive away record. They have played some of their best football on the road, showing resilience in tough matches, as reflected in their 21:17 goal difference across 14 away games.
