Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Spireites have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Peterborough's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Posh have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Chesterfield's 46 points from 34 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Peterborough are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 27 points from their 33 games thus far.
