Chesterfield, England (Interstat) -- Chesterfield will host Colchester United in an English League Two fixture on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, seeking to avenge a lopsided defeat from earlier in the season.

The visiting Colchester side delivered a stunning 6-2 victory when the teams last met on Oct. 4, 2025. That result stands in stark contrast to the recent form of both clubs heading into the rematch at Chesterfield’s Technique Stadium.

Colchester United (10-7-12) arrives following a 1-0 home loss to Salford City on Feb. 28, which snapped a modest two-game winning streak. Their form has been inconsistent since the new year, with a record of 5-5-0 in their last 10 league matches. The U’s have shown potency at times, including a 4-1 win over Barnet on Feb. 21, but have also been prone to narrow defeats.

Chesterfield (8-10-11) is looking to rebound from a 1-0 away defeat to Barnet on Feb. 28. Prior to that, the Spireites were on a five-match unbeaten run (2-3-0) in the league, demonstrating improved resilience. Their most recent outing, however, highlighted ongoing struggles to find consistent offense.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 2-2 draw.

The fixture carries significance for the mid-table aspirations of both sides. A win for Chesterfield would provide momentum before a home match against Shrewsbury Town on March 7. Colchester will look to get back on track ahead of a trip to Newport County on March 7.

Key Matchup: Chesterfield’s defense, which kept three clean sheets in its recent unbeaten run, will be tested by a Colchester attack that scored six goals in the previous head-to-head meeting. Whether the home side can contain that threat will likely determine if they can alter the recent narrative between the clubs.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time.
