Once Chesterfield reached numerical advantage in the second part, they slowly build up on their play and have scored twice in last four minutes of the game, getting all three points, although the match could have easily ended as a goalless draw too. With this victory, Chesterfield is now lonely at the first position with a 4-1-0 record having made a dream start into the new season and are now looking like the strongest favorites for the promotion. However coach Cook tried to stay realistic, saying that he has complaints about their performance in the first half, but still adding that the victory is a fantastic result for them, while the team will try to get another victory today making a firm continuation of their great results. Left back Smith (5/0) feels discomfort in his ankle and his participation is questionable, while the defensive midfielder Brown remains injured, while central defender Evatt might be back into the squad after nine months of recovery from a knee surgery. Accrington, on the other side, disappointed their fans once again, as they lost at home last Saturday to Burton Albion and going down narrowly 1:0. They had control over the match, much more of the ball possession but couldn’t create anything out of their possession, while the visitors had numerous chances in front of their goal.
Overall, guests entered the game much better and got the deserved victory with bigger pressure in last twenty minutes of the game grabbing the three pointer with a goal eight minute of injury time. With this defeat and another defeat in League Cup match against Crewe (during midweek 1:0 away from home), team now has five consecutive defeats, but things to be worse they didn’t score even a single goal in those five. Moreover, they count only one point so far, being one of the candidates for early relegation. Left back Liddle (5/0) will be absent from today’s game, while midfielder Joyce (5/0) and striker Webber (3/1) are doubtful, with defender Hunt (3/0) and goalkeeper Dunbavin (4/0) staying also sidelined with injuries.
Accrington lost last five matches having not conceded a single goal during those five.
Chesterfield has scored at least two goals in last four matches.
There is no doubt that Chesterfield is huge favorite in this one and everything except that easy victory will be a surprise against guests who are completely clueless in attack, but also have the weakest record in the league and are coming with few important players sidelined.
Bet: Chesterfield -1 Asian handicap
