Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Burnley & Rochdale face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Carabao Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Rochdale as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Burnley form and stats
Burnley have not come this way in the Carabao Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Newcastle United. Burnley participated in Carabao Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.Three Premier League home games done for Burnley, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Burnley are slowly digging their own grave here at Turf Moor with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 13 attempts. The last victory here came in the Aston Villa match.
The Burnley crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Arsenal here at Turf Moor in a Premier League match. James Tarkowski, defender, was given a rating of 7.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Tarkowski won 6 of 8 duels.
A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Everton.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Burnley as they are travelling to their away game against Leicester City in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
Burnley aren't scoring a lot here at Turf Moor in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. On the other hand, Burnley have conceded 4 goals.
Rochdale form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Shrewsbury Town in order to reach 3rd round of Carabao Cup. Rochdale was sent out of Carabao Cup in the 2nd round last season.Playing away, Rochdale have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the League Two this season.
Rochdale are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Mansfield Town. The attacker Danny Cashman got a match rating of 7.5 in that game. Cashman scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 32 successful passes (of 37 total).
Before that, Rochdale secured a home win against Tranmere Rovers with the score 1-0.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Rochdale played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected three times.
A new game in only four days for Rochdale, the League Two home match versus Oldham Athletic. Busy days.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Rochdale are regular goalscorers on their travels. Rochdale's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
