Chesterfield enter the League Two playoff showdown with Notts County boasting strong late-season and home form. The Spireites, led by in-form striker Lee Bonis (3 goals in last 2 games), have amassed 23 points from their final 10 matches. In contrast, Notts County have been patchy away from home and struggled to build momentum, losing several recent road games. With Chesterfield’s attacking edge and home advantage, the recommendation tips them for victory, with Bonis a prime scoring candidate.

H2H 


Notts County have a 28-24 advantage against Chesterfield, alongside 20 draws. 

Chesterfield Have Winning Momentum


Chesterfield finished League Two as one of the most in-form sides. They gained 23 points from their final 10 games and won seven. 

Paul Cook’s side also won three of their final four home matches. The Spireites beat Cheltenham 1-0, Grimsby 2-1 and Crewe 2-0 and Lee Bonis scored three goals in that spell.

The Derbyshire team also beat Swindon 2-1 away on the final day of the season. Chesterfield dominated with 2.14 XG and Lee Bonis and Dilan Markanday scored in each half. 

 Notts County Lacking an Away Threat


Notts County were in patcy late season form in League Two. The Magpies were winless in five of their last eight games, losing four. 

County lost three of those games on the road against Oldham 3-0, Salford 2-1 and Cambridge 4-0. The Nottingham outfit then hit back with a 1-0 win at Colchester. 

Martin Paterson’s team couldn't build winning momentum ahead of the play-offs and drew 1-1 at home against Bristol Rovers. Nicholas Tsaroulla opened the scoring before County allowed 1.5 XG and conceded a second-half equaliser. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Chesterfield (4-2-3-1): Ryan Boot; Sam Curtis, Kyle McFadzean, Sil Swinkels, Lewis Gordon; Sammy Braybrooke, Ryan Stirk; Dilan Markanday, Liam Mandeville, Armando Dobra; Lee Bonis

Midfielder Bailey Hobson and forward Freddie Ladapo are sidelined due to injury. 

Notts County (3-4-2-1): James Belshaw; Lewis Macari, Rodney McDonald, Jacob Bedeau; Nicholas Tsaroulla, Ollie Norburn, Matt Palmer, Jodi Jones; Conor Grant, Tom Iorpenda; Lee Ndlovu

Defender Matthew Platt and Harald Nilsen Tangen are injured and won’t feature. 

Verdict

Chesterfield can use their home advantage to notch a first-leg play-off lead an inconsistent Notts County. The Spireites’ top scorer Lee Bonis looked dangerous at the tail end of the season and he can score in a likely home win.
