Chesterfield will look to build on their narrow 1-0 win over Salford City as they return home, where they have been strong this season with 1.75 points per game and a 50% clean-sheet rate. As Walsall are not regarded as good travellers, we predict a 2-1 home win. Despite injuries to Lewis Gordon and Janoi Donacien, Chesterfield's defensive structure remains solid, conceding just 0.5 goals per home match and producing a home xGA of 1.05. Offensively, the Spireites average 1.25 goals per home game, enough to make them slight favourites in what is usually a tight fixture.
Walsall, meanwhile, continue to struggle for consistency. Mat Sadler's troops have collected only 1.00 PPG overall, and their away form is particularly concerning: just 0.80 PPG, conceding 2.40 goals per away match, and keeping only 20% clean sheets. Harry Williams is their only absentee, but defensive fragility remains a major issue, highlighted by an away xGA of 1.89. Scoring just 1.20 goals per away game makes any comeback difficult.
The H2H record favours Walsall (8–4–4), but current form and defensive numbers point towards the hosts. As Chesterfield are strong at home and Walsall poor away, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals as the Saddlers' away games average 3.60 total goals.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 15:00.
