Chesterfield’s form is much better than that of Fleetwood
With 58 points from 43 games, Fleetwood Town are languishing 14th in League Two, a mid-table position which seems to reflect their ability and potential as they come to the end of this 2025-2026 campaign. Matt Lawlor took over as manager in January 2026 and brought a more pragmatic approach to the club, making Fleetwood Town compact, countering with pace and often threatening on the break rather than dominating possession.
Chesterfield are faring far better in the league than their hosts, occupying 7th place with 69 points from 42 matches and still in the hunt for a place in the play-off positions. Paul Cook has overseen a more organised and transition-based style of play at Chesterfield since he took over in February 2022, using a 4-3-3 which overloads the wings and presses high up the pitch before transitioning quickly in possession.
Back the Spireites for an away win in an end-to-end game
Fleetwood Town’s form has been mixed in recent weeks, losing two, winning two, and drawing one of their last five league games. They came into this one off the back of a disappointing home defeat to Barnet, losing 2-5, before bouncing back with a 2-0 away win just three days later. Chesterfield, meanwhile, are on a decent run of form with three wins, one draw, and one defeat from their last five in the league.
Chesterfield are unbeaten in their last two away games, winning both to nil, but have not won in their last away trip to Fleetwood. However, the hosts are in poor form and we’re backing the Spireites to take the points in this one, in what should be a high-scoring game. Mark Helm tops the scoring charts for Fleetwood Town with 10 goals in 43 League Two appearances, while Lee Bonis leads the way for Chesterfield with 8 in 41 games. Will Dickson has been a surprise package for the visitors, scoring 2 of their 4 goals in their last 5 games.
Chesterfield’s width and tempo against Fleetwood Town’s compactness and countering block will lead to plenty of end-to-end action, while both teams will create plenty of chances in this match. With attacking options to choose from for both sides, we’re going for both teams to get on the scoresheet.
