National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rochdale or Plymouth Argyle that keep their silverware dream alive.

Rochdale and Plymouth Argyle should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Rochdale form and stats

Rochdale have not come this way in the FA Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Notts County. Rochdale was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the FA Cup.

Rochdale have played 10 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-5-3 (wins-draws-losses). The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Rochdale has four draws from their last four matches.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Exeter City in the League Two last time out and are looking for a win here. Rochdale's goalie Jay Lynch played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Exeter City with a stunning six saves. Midfield player Abraham Odoh got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Odoh hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 32 successful passes (of 36 total).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a League Two home game that ended 2-2 versus Stevenage.

The manager R. Stockdale will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hartlepool United in only three days.

Rochdale has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Rochdale have conceded 12 in these home matches.

Plymouth Argyle form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Sheffield Wednesday in order to reach 2nd round of FA Cup. They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 4th round.

4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Plymouth Argyle playing as the away team in the League One this season. Recent form does not give Plymouth much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Rochdale will be a tough nut to crack.

Home advantage was not enough for Plymouth in their previous game, as they lost their League One-match, hosting Wigan Athletic, 1-2. Danny Mayor got a match rating of 7.63 in that game, top player of the team. Mayor scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A loss against Wycombe Wanderers was the result prior to that, in a League One home game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Plymouth manager R. Lowe as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Milton Keynes Dons.

Plymouth Argyle has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 16 goals from 9 games. 11 goals have been conceded by Plymouth in these games.
