The SMH Group Stadium is the venue for an EFL Trophy contest on Tuesday evening as Chesterfield takes on Burton.
League Two hosts Chesterfield return to action after a painful defeat at Colchester on Saturday while Burton picked up a point from their drip to Doncaster in League One.
Previous encounters have favoured Burton, but recent form makes it hard to back the visitors this week.

League Two
Chesterfield and Burton have met on ten occasions since 2010. Burton won seven of those games while Chesterfield claimed three victories, including a 5:0 win in their most recent encounter in a pre-season friendly earlier this year.
Chesterfield team overview
Chesterfield turn their attention to the EFL Trophy after a bruising 6:2 defeat at Colchester last weekend. A disastrous first-half saw the Spireites concede four goals as they slipped to another road reversal.
Much stronger in home fixtures, Chesterfield remain unbeaten in five home League Two games this season, while they have lost just three of their last 28 league games at SMH Group Stadium.
Head coach Paul Cook is likely to make some changes to his side this week. Lee Bonis, Tom Naylor and Dilan Markanday are among those in contention to earn recalls to the first XI.

Burton team overview
Burton make the trip to Chesterfield unbeaten in their last two matches after a 1:1 draw against Doncaster on Saturday. Tyrese Shade´s second-half goal rescued a point for Gary Bowyer´s side.
The Albion have not found much winning form in recent weeks, with just two victories picked up in their last ten games. Burton now sit inside the League One relegation places with just nine points collected from ten matches.
A poor road record has been the biggest issue for Bowyer's boys. The League One strugglers failed to win eight of their last nine away league fixtures since the end of last season.
Burton boss Bowyer could rotate his selection this week. Toby Sibbick, Kgagelo Chauke and Tyrese Shade are among those poised to come back into the first XI at SMH Group Stadium.

Prediction
Chesterfield have an excellent home record, and will fancy their chances against a Burton side that has struggled to find much winning form this season.
A home win or draw is my best bet at SMH Group Stadium.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Chesterfield to Win or Draw
- Chesterfield are unbeaten in 25 of their last 28 home matches (League Two)
- Burton failed to win 4 of their last 5 away matches
