Chesterfield host Bromley in a huge clash in the race for the 2024-25 League Two Play-Offs.
Currently sat eight points from the final play-off spot in tenth position, victory could lift Chesterfield up to ninth if Grimsby fail to win elsewhere.
Bromley are a further point behind Chesterfield but will leapfrog their hosts with a win and could go ninth if Grimsby lose at home to Gillingham.

Stat Attack
- Chesterfield have won one of their last five regular league season meetings against Bromley (W1, D2, L2).
- Bromley are unbeaten in four of their last five visits to Chesterfield (W2, D2, L1).
- Chesterfield have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six home matches against Bromley.
- Paul Cook’s Spireites have kept clean sheets in three of their last five home games (W3, D1, L1).
- Bromley have scored in 11 of their 13 away games in the league this season (W5, D5, L3).
Prediction
With just two points in three league games since the turn of 2025 and no clean sheets, Chesterfield know that this is now must-win if want to keep pace with the play-off contenders but they need to try and cut out their defensive mistakes especially after Port Vale took an early lead last weekend.
Bromley meanwhile dug in resiliently to snatch a clinical 1-1 draw at Notts County with a well-executed equaliser after conceding a harsh penalty, and I personally wouldn’t be surprised if we see more of the same here given their solid away form in this fixture.
A 1-1 draw therefore wouldn’t be too surprising but if Bromley can show more attacking fight than they did at Notts County, I can see them just having the edge here but it should be a closely-fought battle nevertheless.
Prediction: Chesterfield 1-2 Bromley
Result: Chesterfield 3-0 Bromley
