The Chesterfield vs Crewe betting odds make the hosts 8/11 (Coral) favourites in this League Two fixture, which is a bold call with the visitors sitting higher in the table.
Chesterfield sit ninth and have gone three without a win, with Tuesday's draw against a struggling Colchester United side leaving Paul Cook's team cursing a late equaliser.
Crewe arrive third in the table, but a 2-0 defeat at Exeter City in midweek ended their winning run, and Lee Bell's side need to respond quickly.
Crewe edge the head-to-head with three wins to Chesterfield's two, so there is no fear factor for the visitors. The Spireites simply need a result to stop the rot.
Chesterfield vs Crewe Form
Chesterfield's form has gone flat. They led before the half-hour against Colchester United on Tuesday night and still settled for a point, stretching their winless run to three games. Louie Marsh remains the spark from the number ten role, having scored in 3 of his last 5 League Two outings, and he is the player Crewe must keep quiet.
Crewe had won three straight League Two matches before Exeter City beat them in midweek, so one bad night does not undo the bigger picture. Lee Bell's side rank fifth on recent form, and Jordan Gibson is the man most likely to hurt Chesterfield from the left.

Crewe
Lee Bell could make one change from the side beaten at Exeter City, recalling Reece Hutchinson at the back. Crewe have three injuries to deal with, as J. Lankester and O. Taylor are ruled out while M. Demetriou is a doubt.

Chesterfield vs Crewe Talking Points
The big off-pitch story is Will Grigg's permanent move to Forest Green Rovers, with the striker leaving after scoring 42 goals for Chesterfield. That puts the onus on Lee Bonis to lead the line, and the hosts' direct counter-attacking game is aimed squarely at a Crewe side that does not cope well with the break. The nagging worry for the Spireites is seeing games out, because protecting a lead is a real weak spot, so an early goal will not settle any nerves in the stands.
