Salford City and Chesterfield go head-to-head at the Peninsula Stadium on matchday two of the EFL League Two. This fixture sees two teams licking their wounds from opening-day setbacks and our prediction leans towards a low-scoring affair with under 2.5 goals being our preferred pick, as has been the case in three of their last four league encounters.
Salford City are in 20th place in the table and are three places behind Chesterfield, their opponents in this upcoming encounter.
After narrowly missing out on promotion to League One last season, losing 3-0 against Notts County in the final, the Greater Manchester outfit entered the new season aiming for another promotion push.
However, the early signs have been far from encouraging. The Ammies suffered a 3-1 away defeat against Barnet. This comes after their elimination from the EFL Cup when they lost 4-3 on penalties to Shrewsbury Town.
Even Chesterfield have not been immune to a disappointing start to the 2026-27 season, having lost their last two matches across all competitions.
Their latest disappointment arrived on the opening matchday, with a 1-0 home loss to Fleetwood leaving them empty-handed.
It was the very same opponent they lost to in the first round of the EFL Cup by an identical scoreline, resulting in their early exit. This has highlighted the Spireites' struggles in front of goal.

Our Salford City vs Chesterfield Prediction
Salford City were outplayed in the previous season against Chesterfield. The hosts lost their last two league games without scoring, and both encounters ended with under 2.5 goals. Revenge is undoubtedly on their minds, but their start to the 2026-27 campaign leaves a lot to be desired.
Chesterfield are not to be trusted either have suffered two consecutive defeats. They didn't score in either encounter, and this shouldn't be surprising for a team that averaged 1.48 goals last season. That said, we expect a low-scoring affair when these two sides meet. Our Salford City vs Chesterfield prediction: under 2.5 goals.
