Alignments and tactical configuration
Chesterfield (4-2-3-1)
Expected lineup: Ryan Boot (Goalkeeper), Kyle McFadzean (Defender), Lewis Gordon (Defender), S. Curtis (Defender), Sil Swinkels (Defender), Armando Dobra (Midfielder), Dilan Markanday (Midfielder), Liam Mandeville (Midfielder), Ryan Stirk (Midfielder), Sammy Brayfield (Midfielder), Le Bondisfielderbrooke (Midfielder)
Chesterfield’s 4-2-3-1 should give them a solid base through the double pivot, allowing the wide midfielders to sustain attacks without exposing the backline. Lee Bonis can stand tall as the focal point, with Armando Dobra and the other advanced midfielders feeding him between the lines.
Notts County (3-4-2-1)
Expected lineup: James Belshaw (Goalkeeper), Jacob Bedeau (Defender), Lucas Ness (Defender), Rod McDonald (Defender), Jodi Jones (Midfielder), Nick Tsaroulla (Midfielder), Oliver Norburn (Midfielder), Tom Iorpenda (Midfielder), Alassana Jatta (Forward), Conor Grant (Forward), Jattayden (Forward)
Notts County’s 3-4-2-1 gives them numbers in central areas and should help them compete for territory against Chesterfield’s midfield. With Jodi Jones operating from a wider role and Alassana Jatta leading the line, they can look to break quickly and support the striker from both attacking midfield positions.
