Robins fly high under Holloway
Ian Holloway has made the Robins into one of the most entertaining and hard to play against sides in the fourth-tier since taking the reins in October 2024. He has built a team that can play a flexible 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system with players constantly interchanging positions. Swindon press aggressively and play vertical passes at pace. This can make them deadly on the counter-attack after forcing turnovers high up the pitch.
Swindon (75 points from 45 games) currently sit 8th in the table, one point off the top-seven in League Two and looking for a playoff spot. Swindon have been a little up and down in recent weeks, winning one, drawing two and losing two of their last five league games. A 2-0 home win was followed up by a 4-0 away defeat, and our Swindon Town vs Chesterfield prediction suggests that this Saturday’s clash with Chesterfield is another test.
Chesterfield are just one place and one point ahead of the Robins in seventh spot, and Paul Cook’s side have picked up some incredible form to put themselves in the playoff picture. The Spireites have not lost in their last five League Two games (Won 3, tied 2), including a 2-0 home win against Crewe Alexandra and a 1-1 away draw to Fleetwood Town.

Spireites can be solid and slick
Lee Bonis is Chesterfield’s top scorer this season, with 11 goals in 44 appearances in League Two and has been in good scoring form of late, hitting three of Chesterfield’s last five. Bonis’s ability to move in the channels and hold the ball up when necessary makes him a great fit in Cook’s patient possession-based system.
Swindon can be a little up and down, but have been steady at home with one win and one tie in their last two games. Holloway’s men will not be outplayed in terms of tempo in any matchup, so the Swindon Town vs Chesterfield prediction is that this Saturday’s game will be a chess match between the players on the pitch and the two bosses on the sidelines. Chesterfield have won nine, tied eight and lost five of their 22 away League Two fixtures, so they have some solid form on the road.
