Level 1 Bet Builder Tip

Over 1.5 Goals

Odds: 1.33

Walsall have the joint highest percentage of home games that have seen both teams to score in League Two this season, as 16/23 games or 70% would have landed this bet. Of course, if both teams score here, this selection wins.


Chesterfield have no choice but to try and score a goal, and although they did not manage to do that in the first leg, they came pretty close on a number of occasions, particularly from crosses into the box.


Walsall do not need to score to start the game, but they will get opportunities on the counter attack as the games goes on, if they can keep Chesterfield out. Alternatively, they could find themselves needing more of a cushion relatively quickly. We fancy both to score, but taking the 2+ match goals market means we are covered if either side win to nil by a couple of goals, too.

Tom Naylor to have 1+ Shots

Odds: 1.57

Tom Naylor proved a threat from his more effective central midfield role in the first leg, missing Chesterfield’s best chance with a header saved from a deep cross from the right, but that is the sort of service he thrives on when making late runs into the box.


That now makes it 21 starts in midfield, and a shot taken in 13 of those 21, he's fired at least one shot away in his last four consecutive matches, hitting seven shots in total over this period.


He is a threat from both open play and set pieces, scoring four goals this season, and 11 last season in the National League.

George Hall to have 1+ Shots

Odds: 1.33

Hall was a constant threat in the first leg, having an attempt on goal within the first 10 seconds of the game, which forced Boot into a save.


He carried on where he had left off from his final day performance at Crewe, having had five shots in total from an attacking midfield position, three of which were on target and one of which was a goal.


He made numerous runs in behind the defence which were not spotted in the first leg, his boundless energy could lead to opportunities on the counter-attack as Chesterfield push to get back into the tie.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip

Chesterfield Double Chance

Odds: 1.61

Given they are starting the game with a two-goal deficit, we are likely to see a front-footed display from Chesterfield, in a game they have to win by at least two goals to have any chance for progressing to Wembley.


Walsall do not need to win the second leg, a draw would suit them perfectly. Mat Sadler strikes me as a safety-first kind of coach, so I suspect we will see more of the same from them in the second leg. Defend your box, get the ball up to Matt quickly, and kill time. Expect Chesterfield to avoid defeat in this one.

Over 2.5 Goals

Odds: 2.0

We fancy both teams to score in this game, as outlined, so it is not too much of a stretch to think there will be three or more goals.


The first leg ended 0-2 to Walsall, so it was not far off landing in the first leg, with Chesterfield missing a few good chances, and we expect this game to be much more open.


The two games in the regular season both saw four goals scored in total, so there is precedent for these two teams to combine to cover this bet. Odds of 2.00 represents good value here, especially given the gamestate.

Jamille Matt to Commit 2+ Fouls

Odds: 1.66

Jamille Matt will likely lead the ling again for Walsall, a very good target man at League Two level who has experience of numerous play-off campaigns.


He committed a huge five fouls in the first leg, grappling with defenders in an attempt to hold the ball and get his side up the pitch. Up against two physical defenders in Palmer and McFadzean, the battle is likely to continue in the second leg.


From 39 starts this season, Matt has given away two or more fouls on 26 occasions, which is 67% of the time. He looks good for a couple of fouls here.

Ash Palmer to have 1+ Shots

Odds: 1.66

Palmer is a real threat from set pieces for the Spireites, as shown when he hit the bar on Sunday afternoon. He is enjoying a prolonged stint in the first team, his introduction coinciding with Chesterfield's upturn in form towards the end of the campaign, which saw them find their way into the play-offs.


Palmer has had a shot on goal in 10 out of 16 starts this season, so in 63% of matches. He has also taken six shots in his last three matches and can fire off an effort or two here.
