1st Prediction For Chesterfield FC vs Milton Keynes Dons: Chesterfield FC to win 113/100

Lat season’s Vanarama National League winners, Chesterfield FC, have made a good start to life back in the Football League and they should be able to bounce back from a minor blip and emerge victorious on New year’s Day. Paul Cook’s side sit in ninth place in the table, just two points off the playoffs. But, they have lost their last two games against Fleetwood Town and Bradford City. It should be noted that the Derbyshire-based side are in the midst of an injury crisis which has seen them forced to recall midfielder Bailey Hobson from his loan spell at Barnet and forward Kane Drummond from his temporary stay at Oldham Athletic. A return to the SMH Group Stadium along with a few more days for his players to gel should provide the Spireites with enough of a boost to emerge victorious on Wednesday.

2nd Prediction For Chesterfield FC vs Milton Keynes Dons: Both teams to score: yes 27/50

Although Chesterfield should emerge victorious on New Year’s Day, Scott Lindsey’s MK Dons side will certainly be able to put up a fight. The Dons are one of the most creative sides in the fourth tier as they have created the third most big chances in the division. They are also fairly clinical as they have scored 1.6 goals per game on average, the fourth most in League Two. MK Dons’ key attacker, Alex Gilbey, has gone through a relatively dry run of late, having not scored or assisted in any of his last four games, and he will be looking to put that right come New Year’s Day. Additionally, Chesterfield are not particularly defensively solid. They have conceded 1.2 goals per game and they have the 11th-highest xG conceded of any League Two team this season. This means that there will definitely be chances for the away side to breach the Spireites’ defence which makes predicting both teams to score wise.

3rd Prediction For Chesterfield FC vs Milton Keynes Dons: Chesterfield FC to win and there being over 1.5 goals 41/25

The game sees two of the best attacking sides in League Two face off against each other which means that predicting Chesterfield FC to win and there being over 1.5 goals could be a fruitful prediction for those looking for a riskier option. Not only is the Chesterfield defence fairly leaky, as previously mentioned, but the MK Dons defence is arguably worse. Scott Lindsey’s side have kept just three clean sheets this season, only bottom of the league Morecambe have kept less clean sheets, and they rank in the bottom five for interceptions, tackles and clearances per match. The Chesterfield side boasts a number of exciting attackers, like Dilan Markanday and Armando Dobra, who will be looking to expose these defensive frailties.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

Scott Lindsey’s side travel to Derbyshire sitting just three points behind their opponents but they are in much worse form than the home side. MK Dons sit in 21st place in the form table, having picked up just four points from their last five league games, and in 11th place overall. Lindsey will want his side to end their poor run as quickly as possible in order to push back up towards the playoff places. Paul Cook’s Chesterfield currently sit in ninth place and just two points off the playoffs. They have lost their last two games and Cook will be looking for his side to bounce back so that they do not fall into mid-table obscurity by the end of the season.
