Wrexham will be aiming for a repeat of their National League victory over Dorking Wanderers, which they won 3-1. Elliot Lee scored 12′, Paul Mullin scored 41′, and Sam Dalby scored 56′ for Wrexham. Dorking Wanderers received a goal from Jimmy Muitt (76′).
Wrexham has not kept a clean sheet in recent games, which is unusual. They will be concerned because Wrexham has conceded ten goals in five of their previous six games and failed to stop opponents from scoring. However, it is not certain that such a pattern will continue into this match.
Chesterfield and their voyaging fans will expect an improved outcome here. Oldham Athletic’s goal scorer was Devarn Green (6′). It has become clear that Chesterfield has not scored a single goal in their last six games, scoring just 4. The Spireites have also seen their opponents score an aggregate of 8 goals in those games.
Prediction
We think that Wrexham will score against Chesterfield, who might have trouble scoring themselves, and that they will almost certainly do so.
As a result, we believe that Wrexham will prevail by a score of 2-0 at the conclusion of the match.

Team News
Due to an almost full-strength group of players, Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson only has to deal with one fitness issue. Jordan Davies won’t play due to a knee injury.
Paul Cook, Chesterfield manager, has no fitness concerns to report prior to this game due to a fully healthy group of players. Paul Mullin, the team’s leading scorer, will attempt to score for the sixth consecutive league game after Parkinson chose to withdraw him early last time out.
Due to a persistent groin problem, Akwasi Asante is unlikely to play against the automatic promotion contenders for Chesterfield.
Against Oldham, Danny Rowe returned to action and could contend for a starting position in Cook’s attack.
Joe Quigley hasn’t scored since Boxing Day, but after his watching brief on Saturday, the Spireites’ joint-leading scorer should be back in the lineup.
