Recent respective form guides

Chesterfield's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Robins, and 4 goals against.

Chesterfield are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 39 points from 35 matches. Bristol City are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 62 points from 34 games.
