Chesterfield vs Notts County prediction
Whilst Paul Cook has achieved plenty of success across his managerial career, he is yet to be promoted via the play-offs. Last season, Chesterfield were beaten comfortably across two legs by Walsall and Notts County are looking to do the same in 2025-26. However, when it comes to previous fixtures between these two sides, it’s Chesterfield who have enjoyed the upper hand.
The hosts recorded a double over the Magpies across the regular season and four of the last five games that have seen these teams face off (all of which were in League Two) have ended in Chesterfield winning. This gives them a big phycological advantage going into this first leg. They know what is needed to beat Notts County and with a packed home crowd roaring them, backing Chesterfield to secure an aggregate lead ahead of the second leg warrants consideration.
