Preview: Wrexham vs. Chesterfield - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's National League clash between Wrexham and Chesterfield, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

It is a top-of-the-table clash on Tuesday in the National League as second-placed Wrexham will host third-placed Chesterfield at the Racecourse.

Seven points separate the two teams at the moment with the visitors having a game in hand as well, adding further pressure to this fixture.

Wrexham have plenty of confidence right now as they head into this match with a 14-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, proving their quality in all areas of the pitch.

Offensively they have been impressive in the league as they have scored 54 goals while only conceding 19, which is the best defensive record so far.

Both sides of their game were on display at the weekend when the team defeated Eastleigh 2-0 with goals from Ben Tozer and Elliot Lee securing the result.

Considering the fact that Wrexham are just a point behind Notts County at the moment there is plenty to play for on Tuesday's fixture.

Phil Parkinson will be pushing his team to get revenge from their most recent encounter against Chesterfield, as the Spireites won that match 2-0.

Chesterfield put in an impressive performance at the start of the season in that match with Jeff King and Oliver Banks scoring both goals.

Paul Cook's men got themselves back to winning ways on Saturday following a loss against Halifax Town as they earned three points at the expense of Dorking Wanderers.

Kabongo Tshimanga gave Chesterfield the lead, and while Dorking got themselves back into the game there were late goals from Armando Dobra and Joe Quigley to wrap things up.

The result secured Chesterfield's place in the top three heading into this week, and they will now look to place further pressure on Wrexham and Notts County.

The Spireites do boast a game in hand over the teams above them, therefore adding a victory here would put them into a strong position moving forward.

Wrexham will bring the usual attacking threat of Paul Mullin and Ollie Palmer who will be sure to push the Chesterfield defenders to their limit.

However it is not just those two providing a goal threat at the moment as Lee is in great form in front of goal as well.

Quigley's goal at the weekend could be enough to grant him a place in the starting lineup on Tuesday after he impressed from the bench in that game.

Chesterfield were boosted by the return of Oliver Banks at the weekend, and he came straight into the team which could be the case again on Tuesday night.

However, the Spireites will be without Manny Oyeleke as he is dealing with a knee injury that has kept him on the sidelines.

Wrexham possible starting lineup:
Howard; McFadzean, Tunnicliffe, Tozer, Hayden, Forde; Lee, Young, Jones; Mullin, Palmer

Chesterfield possible starting lineup:
Fitzsimons; King, Palmer, Grimes, Clements; Oldaker, Jones, Mandeville, Dobra, Whelan; Quigley


SM words green background

We say: Wrexham 2-1 Chesterfield

This fixture promises to be a closely contested one between two of the strongest teams in the National League in the first half of the season.

However, Wrexham having the home advantage and the confidence of their current unbeaten streak should be enough to see them get three points here.
