The SMH Group Stadium will host key League Two action on Saturday lunchtime as Paul Cook's Chesterfield welcome Darrell Clarke's Bristol Rovers for what will be both team's third league match of the new campaign. The Spireites and Pirates have had contrasting starts to their campaigns, so what will our prediction be for what promises to be an impactful match for both teams at this early stage of the season?
Chesterfield have started the season well in terms of league form. They were 1-0 winners at home to Barrow on the opening day of the season and then followed that with an excellent 2-0 win at Cheltenham. Defensively solid and yet to concede a goal in the league, the Spireites occupy third spot in the table, one of just three teams with a 100% winning record. However, they were beaten 2-0 at home by Mansfield Town in the EFL Cup in midweek.
In contrast, things have been a lot bleaker for Bristol Rovers. After relegation last season from League One, they went down to a 1-0 home defeat to Harrogate on the opening day of the season and followed that with a 2-1 away loss to Fleetwood Town last weekend. Then in midweek, Rovers went out of the Carabao Cup, losing 2-0 to Cambridge United at home. They currently lie 20th in the League Two table.

Our Chesterfield vs Bristol Rovers Prediction
Our prediction for the Chesterfield vs. Bristol Rovers League Two match is: Chesterfield wins the match.
The contrasting fortunes of both these teams is starkly displayed in the data for this game.
