Rochdale form and stats

With 3 League Two wins, 4 draws and 12 defeats from their home games, Rochdale are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Happy days for Rochdale in their previous game, a fixture away at AFC Wimbledon (placed 16th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. At last, a league victory after three fixtures without. Ebanks-Landell, defender, was given a rating of 7.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Ebanks-Landell won 6 of 8 duels.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Crawley Town (0-2).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rochdale as they are travelling to their away game against Mansfield Town in the League Two. That match is three days after this one.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 30 goals have been conceded.

Walsall's last game was the home draw against Sutton United (1-1).

A 0-2 defeat away at AFC Wimbledon before that.

Lacking goals? 14 of this club's latest 16 league matches have had two goals or less.

A new game in only three days for Walsall, the League Two home match versus Carlisle United. Busy days.
