Notts County will look to defend their slim lead when they host Chesterfield in the second leg of the League Two playoff semi-finals. As Notts County are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Magpies earned a valuable 1-0 win in the first meeting and are expected to stick with the same starting XI after a disciplined away performance. Notts County have been strong going forward at home lately, averaging 2.5 goals per game across their last four home matches, while all of those fixtures produced both teams scoring. Martin Paterson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Chesterfield in the first leg.
Chesterfield still have every chance of turning the tie around after an impressive run of form prior to the first-leg defeat. The visitors have won six of their last 10 matches and boast an excellent away record, taking 2.5 points per game from their last four road fixtures. Chesterfield have also conceded just 0.5 goals per away match in that run. However, forward Armando Dobra is doubtful after suffering a knock in the first leg, which could hurt their attacking threat.
Given Notts County's home advantage and a fine first-leg display, Home Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (57% H2H).
This League 2 match will be played on Friday 15 May 2026 at 20:00.
