Prediction: 2-1
Chesterfield
Notts County and Chesterfield Town square off against each other at Meadow Lane in what is expected to be an interesting League Two game. The Magpies did well to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Barrow and AFC Wimbledon, with the team beating Grimsby Town on the road, but they should not stop now. Notts County are eyeing automatic League One promotion and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Chesterfield. The good news for the hosts is that experienced forward David McGoldrick has overcome his injury, while goalkeeper Alex Bass is a major doubt.
The Spireites, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Newport County and Salford City. Chesterfield are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Notts County’s attacking potential at home, there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Irish striker Patrick Madden is back from suspension for the away team.
