Chesterfield vs Gillingham Betting Tips - BTTS/Draw 

Hosts Chesterfield return to action after their six-game unbeaten run was abruptly halted with a crushing 4:0 defeat at Tranmere on Saturday. Having picked up 16 points from a possible 18 in six previous matches, Paul Cook´s side saw their late promotion hopes suffer a serious blow at Prenton Park. 

A decent run of home form has seen Chesterfield win four of their last six games at SMG Group Stadium, although clean sheets have proven rare. Four of their last five home fixtures saw both teams score, while they conceded at least one goal in 14 of 19 home League Two encounters.

Despite their strong League Two form, Chesterfield find themselves in 10th place with 39 points, seven adrift of the promotion play-off spots with just five games to play. 

With confidence dented from their defeat at Tranmere, Cook´s side now face a stiff test in the shape of a tough-to-beat opponent now all but safe from the threat of relegation. 

Draw specialists Gillingham make the trip to Chesterfield after yet another share of the spoils in their most recent match at Salford on Saturday. The Spireites have now drawn each of their last five league fixtures,

On the road, seven of Gillingham´s last nine games finished level,seven games also saw both sides scoring. A similar outcome seems likely on Tuesday.

BTTS is my first pick on Tuesday, with a small stake placed on the visitors picking up a sixth successive draw.
