Chesterfield – Newport County

Chesterfield host Newport County in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower reaches of the table. Sitting twelfth with eight points from six games – two wins, two draws and two defeats, and an even 8‑8 goal balance – the Spireites will be eager to cement a push for the top half. Newport, languishing at the foot of the league in twentieth place with just five points, have struggled to find the net, managing ten goals while conceding eleven. A win for Chesterfield could widen the gap between the two sides and give the visitors a much‑needed boost in their relegation battle. Both clubs will be keen to improve their records against each other, adding an extra layer of intensity to the fixture.
