Match Analysis
Chesterfield host Shrewsbury in a clash between a play-off chasing side and a lower-mid-table visitor. Chesterfield have been solid at home and are hard to beat, while Shrewsbury arrive in decent form, having won 4 of their last 5, but remain vulnerable away from home. Both sides have shown attacking intent recently, but Chesterfield's overall quality and home advantage make them favourites. Expect a competitive match with Chesterfield likely edging it, but Shrewsbury's improved attack could see them get on the scoresheet.
