1st Prediction For Accrington Stanley vs Chesterfield FC: Chesterfield FC to win 61/100
Accrington Stanley are in similar form to Chesterfield, but the Spireites have something to fight for going into the final day of the season, meaning it is more likely that they emerge victorious. Over the last five games, the home side have picked up eight points which has steered them away from the relegation battle and seen them reach the fabled 50-point safety mark with one game to spare. After a difficult winter in which they suffered a severe injury crisis, Chesterfield have recovered well in the last few months. Paul Cook’s men have picked up nine points in their last five games and are one of just four League Two sides to go unbeaten over this period. They currently sit in ninth place with 67 points, 17 more than the Reds, but they could sneak into the playoff places on Saturday if results go their way.
2nd Prediction For Accrington Stanley vs Chesterfield FC: Chesterfield FC to win and both teams to score: yes 12/5
Those looking for a slightly riskier prediction should consider predicting Chesterfield to win and both teams to score due to Chesterfield’s relatively poor defence and Accrington’s relatively good attack. John Doolan’s side have scored a reasonable x goals in the League this season, giving them the 14th-best attack in the fourth tier. They are quite prolific finishers, as they rank lower than this for both xG and big chances created. The home side have been in relatively good form in front of goal recently as they have only failed to find the back of the net once in their last six games. Chesterfield’s defence has been their achilles heel this season as the Spireites have conceded 54 goals, putting them firmly in mid-table for goals conceded per game. They also rank 11th in the fourth division for clean sheets, having kept just two in their last seven games.
3rd Prediction For Accrington Stanley vs Chesterfield FC: Josh Woods to score at any time 83/20
Accrington’s Ben Woods has been in tremendous goalscoring form of late, despite playing as a wing-back or central midfielder for the majority of this season, which makes predicting him to score wise. The 22-year-old has scored four times in his last six league games to take his total for the season to nine goals in 36 league appearances. What is truly remarkable is that these goals have come from just 1.97 xG and a staggering six of them have been scored from outside of the box. Even when compared to other League Two midfielders, though Woods has started the last two games at left-wing-back, he has scored more times than 98% of his counterparts and he has taken more shots and had more shots on target than 94% of them. This could cause Liam Mandeville a great deal of problems on Saturday lunchtime.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Accrington Stanley come into the game in good form in the league having picked up two wins and eight points in their last five games. John Doolan’s men secured their Football League status for next season last time out in a one-nil win over Walsall FC, meaning they can enjoy the final day of the season in front of their home fans at the Wham Stadium. They currently occupy 19th place, having picked up 50 points in 45 league games, but they have the opportunity to move into 18th if they can pick up just their sixth home win of the season on Saturday.
Chesterfield FC find themselves sitting in ninth place having accumulated 67 points in their 45 league games. Paul Cook’s men are involved in a tense race for the final playoff positions, but they will need results to go their way if they are to find themselves in the top seven by Saturday evening. The Spireites have enjoyed a very successful season upon their return to the EFL and, had it not been for a large injury crisis which saw as many as 15 first-team players injured at the same time, they likely would have secured a playoff berth already and may have even been pushing for back-to-back promotions into the third tier.
Paul Cook’s men will not have good memories of Accrington as the Reds thumped them three-nil when they visited the SMH Group Stadium in November despite having just 22% possession.
