Chesterfield – Crawley Town

Match analysis

Chesterfield host Crawley Town in what promises to be a pivotal fixture for both sides. Chesterfield sit 12th in the table with eight points from six games – two wins, two draws and two defeats, and a balanced goal tally of eight for and eight against. Crawley, languishing in 23rd place, have collected just four points, their lone victory and draw offset by four losses and a -5 goal difference (six scored, eleven conceded). The Spireites will be looking to build on their solid defensive record, while the Reds must tighten up at the back if they hope to climb out of the relegation zone. A win for Chesterfield could propel them into the top half, whereas Crawley will need a turnaround to keep survival hopes alive.
