Recent respective form guides
Chesterfield's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Spireites have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Leyton Orient's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The O's's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 13 goals for and 11 against.
Chesterfield are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 39 points from 36 matches. Leyton Orient find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 42 points from their 36 matches.
