Despite the International Break we are set to still be treated to plenty of EFL action on Saturday 12th October 2024. One of those games is a battle between Chesterfield and Notts County in League Two at the SMH Group Stadium.
Out of form Notts County will look to get back to winning ways this Saturday. However it will be no easy task coming up against an on form - and turning things around - Chesterfield side who will be keen to win as well in order to make a push on the top six of the table.
Chesterfield Predicted Lineup - Max Thompson; Lewis Gordon, Tom Naylor, Cheyenne Dunkley, Liam Mandeville; James Berry, Darren Oldaker, Oliver Banks, Dilan Markandy; Will Grigg, Armando Dobra
Chesterfield have picked up 14 points in ten games. This leaving them twelfth in the league. A win here could take them as high as seventh in the league so long as things in other games go their way.
Interestingly, they have scored 17 goals this season. This is the joint second most in the league. Their issues instead lie with the goals they concede having let in ten goals already this campaign.
Notts County Predicted Lineup - Alex Bass; Lewis Macari, Matty Platt, Jacob Bedeau; Nick Tsaroulla, Dan Crowley, Matt Palmer, Kellan Gordon; Sam Austin, Scott Robertson; Alassana Jatta
Having picked up 18 points in ten games, Notts County sit fifth in the league and in a very impressive position going forward. They will likely be considered heavy favourites for promotion come the end of the campaign.
This comes having scored 17 goals - the same amount as their opponents this weekend. But not only this they have only conceded nine as well this year proving they can also be defensively sound also.
Unfortunately they come into this game on poor form. They haven’t won in four of their last seven matches. Considering how they were performing early in the campaign this is a big fall off. Can they get back on form in this match?
Chesterfield and Notts County have played one another 68 times in their histories.
It is Notts County that hold the advantage with 28 wins to Chesterfields 21 wins. There have also been 19 draws.
Despite this Chesterfield have only lost one of the last four games against Notts County and they haven’t lost at home to them since 2011.

This game will be a close fixture with both teams eager to win.
However, Notts County’s poor form recently stands out. They have been very poor in recent weeks. And with CHesterfield on a bit of a rise we can’t help but think the hosts will win this game.
That is why our team of professional tipping experts are backing odds of 21/20 for a Chesterfield Win in this match. These odds mean that £10 has the potential to return up to £20.50.
