Chesterfield and Shrewsbury Town go head to head at the SMH Group Stadium in what promises to be an interesting clash between two sides enjoying decent form. Anyhow, we predict a 3-1 home win as the hosts are eager to stay in the playoffs berth. The Spireites sit 6th in the table and arrive full of confidence after a convincing 3–0 win over Colchester. Manager Paulo Cook is unlikely to change a winning lineup as his side continue their push for a playoff spot. The hosts have been particularly solid defensively. Chesterfield concede just 0.90 goals per game, while at home that figure drops to only 0.60.
Shrewsbury, currently 17th, also come into this match after a strong run, winning four of their last five games. However, the Shrews will be without Luca Hoole through injury and Josh Ruffels due to suspension. The visitors score 1.20 goals per game but concede 1.30, while their away defence allows 1.80 goals per match, which could be a concern here.
Historically, Chesterfield have the edge, winning three of the last five H2H meetings, with 80% of those games seeing both teams score. Given Chesterfield's strong home form and solid defence, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS, and Chesterfield Over 1.5.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 7 March 2026 at 15:00.
