Port Vale have won each of their last three home league games against Chesterfield, with each victory coming via a different scoreline (1-0, 2-1, 3-2). They haven’t won four home Football League matches in succession against the Spireites since October 1952.

Chesterfield have won seven of their last 11 league games against Port Vale (D1 L3), scoring 2+ goals in eight of those 11 meetings.

The last three league meetings between Darren Moore and Paul Cook have all been in different divisions: Boxing Day 2018 in the Championship (West Brom 2-0 Wigan), September 2021 in League One (Ipswich 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday) and this League Two game between Moore’s Port Vale and Cook’s Chesterfield.

Chesterfield have won just five of their last 50 away matches in the Football League (D10 L35), though one win was against Crewe in August, a 5-0 victory.
