Chesterfield - Gillingham

Chesterfield aim to regain their momentum as they return to SMH Group Stadium for this League Two matchday 4 encounter on 1 September 2026. The hosts arrive following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Rotherham United, a result that halted the progress made during their hard-fought 1-0 victory against Salford City just one week prior. Seeking to establish consistency in the early stages of the campaign, Chesterfield will look to replicate the defensive discipline that secured them a clean sheet in that triumph over Salford.

For Gillingham, the trip presents an opportunity to find a clinical edge after a frustrating run of results. The visitors shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Northampton Town on 29 August 2026, following a goalless stalemate against Fleetwood Town. Having struggled to find the net recently, Gillingham will look to draw confidence from their historical record, including a 1-0 win over Chesterfield in August 2024.
