Notts County
Notts County finished 5th in League Two, one place and one point ahead of 6th-placed Chesterfield, who finished on 79 points from 46 games.
Chesterfield
Chesterfield have won 10, drawn 8, and lost 5 away matches in League Two this season.
Head-to-Head
Chesterfield have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat in the last 5 head-to-head meetings, and Paul Cook will have his men ready for this one, the Spireites are a well-drilled side that can control the flow of the game and will be tough to break down.
Key Players
- Cook’s side like to get the ball and keep it, they are a possession-based side and have a clinical finisher in Lee Bonis, who has 12 goals in 45 League Two games, he’s scored 4 of Chesterfield’s last 7 goals and they will need him to keep this form to make the final.
- However, Nicholas Tsaroulla has found his goal-scoring form of late, scoring 2 of the last 4 Notts County goals, while Alassana Jatta remains a real talisman for the hosts.
Betting Insights
Odds of 2.86 for Chesterfield to get the win are really good value considering the stakes and local rivalry, but we’re going to go with Both Teams to Score - Yes and Over 2.5 goals in the game at 1.82 and 2.11 , respectively, as both sides will give it their all to make the League Two final.
Prediction
- Notts County have not won in their last 2 home matches (D1, L1) but, after their 1-0 away win over Chesterfield in the first leg, will be confident of at least keeping pace with The Spireites and securing a 2-2 draw, which would be enough to take the League Two play-off semi-finalists through to the final.
- Chesterfield are in great form, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 defeat from their last 5 games, but Notts County are a real threat and we’re expecting a nail-biting, end-to-end affair on Friday night.
