Stat Attack
- Bromley are unbeaten in nine of their last 13 meetings against Chesterfield in all competitions (W6, D3, L4).
- Chesterfield have won just one of their last six visits to Bromley in all competitions (W1, D1, L4).
- Andy Woodman’s Ravens have scored four goals in two of their last three home games against Chesterfield.
- Bromley have scored in 10 of 11 matches this season across all competitions.
- Chesterfield have lost their last two away matches by a 1-0 result in the league.
Prediction
Winless in their last six league games amidst quite a few awful defensive displays despite their evident attacking quality, Bromley are only five points away from the play-off spots yet the same margin from the drop.
This home game against Chesterfield has therefore has come at a ideal time at the start of a new month and with Jenkinson likely to start, this is a chance to reset and try to cut out their defensive errors given their home form against the Spirites.
Chesterfield meanwhile might be sat ninth but they’ve been inconsistent and are just as vulnerable defensively, whilst their away form against the Ravens doesn’t make for good viewing so they will need to build on that win at Doncaster.
Do that then you have to feel that Chesterfield could have the edge but Bromley have Cheek who loves to net against the Spirites, so this could be a cracker and if the home crowd can really get behind them then this could be a home win.
Prediction: Bromley 2-1 Chesterfield
Result: Bromley 2-2 Chesterfield
