Rochdale form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the FA Cup for Rochdale, as the manager B. Barry-Murphy led his troops to eliminate Boston United and Wrexham, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Rochdale have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Spotland. 2W-2D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the FA Cup for Rochdale. It's been an uphill battle for Rochdale in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Milton Keynes Dons game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Happy days for Rochdale in their previous game, a League One match away at Accrington Stanley that ended with a 2-1 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Gillingham (0-1).

Rochdale have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Rochdale have conceded 17 from these games.

Newcastle United form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Newcastle United so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-7 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Newcastle United much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Rochdale will be a tough nut to crack. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Newcastle United have lost on their last two travels.

Newcastle United failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Leicester City that ended with defeat 0-3. A 1-2 loss hosting Everton before that.

Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka had a great day against Leicester City, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.

The attacking power of Newcastle United when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. For Newcastle United, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
