Chesterfield welcome Walsall at SMH Group Stadium, Chesterfield, Derbyshire on Saturday, Apr 3 at 4:00 PM in a League 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Chesterfield come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Walsall travel drawing too many games (4D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Chesterfield face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Walsall have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

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