Chesterfield
- League Two’s seventh-placed side, Chesterfield (68 points from 41 games), face Tranmere Rovers (36 points from 41) in an important matchup on Saturday where both clubs will have something to play for.
- A 1-0 home win over Cheltenham Town, and back-to-back 1-0 away wins at Leyton Orient and Sutton United have been the results of their recent efforts.
- Cook has really made a solid side out of the materials available to him at Chesterfield this season, a side that is geared around a 4-2-3-1 system that allows the team to control the ball and dictate the tempo.
Tranmere Rovers
- Tranmere Rovers are in the midst of a poor run and in danger of not having enough points to avoid relegation come the end of the season.
- Peter Wild, appointed in March 2026, has set about sorting out the defensive organisation and restoring their ability to press and turn the opposition over in transition.
- They have hit a rough patch of late, losing four games in a row and three consecutive matches without scoring more than a goal, and it looks as though Wild’s men have gone off the boil.
- Charlie Whitaker remains the club’s top scorer with ten goals in 36 league games, and is Rovers’ most likely outlet for a breakaway goal.
Head-to-Head
- Chesterfield have lost only four of their 20 home League Two games this season, winning nine and drawing seven.
- Tranmere have lost 11 of their 20 road games in League Two 2025-2026, and have failed to win on their last visit to Chesterfield.
Key Players
- With Lee Bonis leading the frontline with eight goals in 40 League Two appearances, and Will Dickson notching two of their last six, they have enough of a goal threat to trouble a poor away team.
- Charlie Whitaker remains the club’s top scorer with ten goals in 36 league games, and is Rovers’ most likely outlet for a breakaway goal.
Prediction
We’re backing Cook’s side to return to winning ways with odds of 1.5 .
