Promotion-chasing Crewe Alexandra have lost just once all season, but our Chesterfield vs Crewe Alexandra predictions still lean to the home side in a League Two meeting of two forward-thinking sides. Kick-off at the SMH Group Stadium is 3pm on Saturday.
Chesterfield have been potent on their own patch and go into this as clear favourites, while Crewe arrive third and hard to beat but carrying a lighter away threat. It shapes up as the division’s form defence against one of its sharper home attacks.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson sees a home side with real teeth and has paired a proven marksman with a corners angle at the SMH Group Stadium.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Lee Bonis to score anytime | 11/10 (bet365) | Chesterfield have scored 18 goals in 12 games and found the net in all but two outings, with much of that threat running through Lee Bonis. The striker has four goals from 11 starts and leads the line for a home side that has already banged in 11 at this ground. Crewe Alexandra travel with a tidy defensive record, yet they were beaten 2-0 at Exeter City last time out and have kept only four clean sheets all season. Against a Chesterfield front line in confident mood, Bonis at a shade over evens to find the net looks a fair starting point. |
| Jordan Gibson to score anytime | 7/2 (bet365) | Crewe Alexandra’s best route to goal is Jordan Gibson. He is their top scorer with five League Two goals, four of them in his last five games, including a brace in the 3-2 win over Rochdale. Chesterfield have kept just two clean sheets all season and have conceded eight goals in six home games. Both teams have scored in eight of Chesterfield’s 12 matches, so Crewe should get chances. bet365’s 7/2 on Gibson scoring at any time adds a bigger price alongside Lee Bonis. |

How Chesterfield go into the game
Chesterfield go into the weekend ninth in a congested League Two table, with 16 points from 12 games made up of four wins, four draws and four defeats. They have been potent at home, scoring 11 goals in six matches at the SMH Group Stadium for a record of two wins, three draws and one defeat.
Recent form is mixed. A 1-1 home draw with Colchester United last time out followed a 1-0 loss at Port Vale and a 2-2 draw at Crawley Town, with a thumping 4-2 home win over Tranmere Rovers the standout and a 2-1 defeat at Cheltenham Town also in the sequence. With 18 goals scored and 16 conceded, their games rarely lack incident.
How Crewe Alexandra go into the game
Crewe Alexandra arrive in outstanding shape, third and inside the automatic promotion places with 21 points from 12 games. Remarkably, they have lost just once all season, a record of five wins, six draws and a single defeat, and the four clean sheets and 11 goals conceded mark them out as a side built on resilience.
The Railwaymen have won three of their last five, but were beaten 2-0 at Exeter City last time out. Before that they saw off Rochdale 3-2, won 1-0 at Swindon Town and beat Bristol Rovers 3-1, as well as drawing 1-1 at Rotherham United. On the road they have been miserly, shipping just four goals across six away games.
