Rochdale form and stats
Disaster struck Rochdale last season as they could not defend their status as a League Two team. With 26 defeats from 46 games, and only 9 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Rochdale are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W5 D5 L13.
It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Rochdale, who have participated in five training matches. Rochdale have won 3 of these, drawn 1 and were beaten in 1 game.
Ebbsfleet United form and stats
A job perfectly done for Ebbsfleet United last season as they secured promotion from Vanarama National League South. With a grand total of 32 wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 14 were in away matches.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Ebbsfleet have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 5 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats from five fixtures.
