Data provided by

Seventh-placed Chesterfield welcome a winless-on-the-road Colchester United to the SMH Group Stadium on Tuesday night, 7.45pm kick-off, as the Spireites look to make home advantage count.

Our Chesterfield vs Colchester United predictions favour the hosts, who have lost just once at home in League Two this season. Colchester arrive 20th and still waiting for a first away win, which leaves Chesterfield as strong favourites to build on an inconsistent but productive start.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson has picked out a Chesterfield scorer and a Colchester corners angle, backing Lee Bonis to net and the visitors to win the most corners.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Lee Bonis to score anytime6/5 (Sky Bet)Lee Bonis has four goals already this season, second only to Louie Marsh in the Chesterfield ranks, and he faces a Colchester defence that has conceded 10 in five away games. The Spireites have scored 10 at home in just five matches, so the supply line should be there. Colchester have kept only two clean sheets all season and lost three of their five away matches, conceding 10 in the process. At 6/5, a frontman in this kind of form getting on the scoresheet looks a tempting starting point.
The draw10/3 (Betfair Sportsbook)Colchester United have drawn five of their 10 League Two games, and four of their last five have featured two goals or fewer. Chesterfield are the stronger side and have scored 10 times in five home games, but they have kept only one clean sheet at the SMH Group Stadium and drew 1-1 and 3-3 there earlier in the season. Colchester sit 20th yet have lost only three times, so a share of the spoils is a real possibility. The draw at 10/3 with Betfair Sportsbook is the bigger-price play.

How Chesterfield go into the game

Chesterfield sit seventh in League Two with 15 points from 11 games, a record of four wins, three draws and four defeats. They slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Port Vale last time out but have still scored 17 goals this season.

At the SMH Group Stadium the hosts have been solid, losing just once in five while winning twice and drawing twice, and scoring 10 goals in the process. Louie Marsh leads the way with five, with Lee Bonis close behind on four.

How Colchester United go into the game

Colchester United arrive 20th on 11 points from 10 games, their season defined by draws with two wins, five stalemates and three defeats. A goalless draw at home to Exeter City was their most recent outing.

Away from home the U’s are still looking for a first win, taking two draws but losing three of five and conceding 10. Jonathan Sesay, with three, is their leading scorer.

Recent meetings between these two have been anything but dull, Colchester winning 6-2 last October before Chesterfield hit back with a 3-0 victory in March. Seven games in there is little to choose between them, which adds intrigue to another instalment.
