Winner

Available at 25/1 to win the league, this implies just a 3.8% of chance of them finishing top of the table.

Promotion

Odds of 11/2 imply Chesterfield have a 25% chance of bouncing straight back to league one last season. Oddschecker users fancy them might just do so, as they account for 12.5% of all the money placed on the promotion market. This is the 4th most behind Luton (39.6%), Crewe (17.6%) and Port Vale (14.9%).

Relegation

Punters may be placing their hard earned cash on them to be promoted but after such a miserable season last year, it seems they also can’t help but chance them committing the cardinal sin of back to back relegations. The Spireites are available at 20/1 to be relegated, so the bookies believe they have a better chance of being relegated (4.8%) than promoted (3.8%).

Top Goalscorer

Kristian Dennis got 8 goals in league one last season and he is 33/1 to be top scorer in the league below this term. Gozie Ugwu who bagged 19 in 43 for Woking last year is also a 33/1 shot to claim the golden boot. The only other player in the market is lower league journeyman Chris O’Grady at 40/1.
