At the start of the new season Newport failed to show their best qualities and are still 13th in the standings with 15 points. In the previous two rounds the club lost with a difference of two goals to Bradford City and lost to Harrogate FC with the score 0:1.
Chesterfield’s results so far in the new season have been disappointing. The club is in 12th place in the standings with 15 points. Wins are not so many, but also defeats can be minimized due to draw results. For example, for three consecutive meetings Chesterfield ends with a draw. The matches against Bromley, Walsall and Notts County ended with the score 2:2 for Chesterfield.
The teams are close in the standings and have the same number of points, but Chesterfield have looked more solid in recent matches. If Newport suffered two consecutive defeats, Chesterfield have not lost for five games in a row. The guests manage to combine efficiency in attack and stable defense.
