Recent respective form guides

Chesterfield's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Spireites's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Chesterfield's 19 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Huddersfield are leading the way in the Coca Cola League One, with their 14 games giving them a return of 30 points.
