Accrington Stanley welcome Chesterfield at Crown Ground, Accrington, Lancashire on Saturday, Dec 19 at 4:00 PM in a League 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Accrington Stanley come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Chesterfield, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Accrington Stanley here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Chesterfield, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Chesterfield won 1–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Accrington Stanley a slight edge, but Chesterfield are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
