National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rochdale or Stockport County that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Rochdale saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the League One. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Oxford United.
Rochdale form and stats
Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round replays.Rochdale have collected 6 points from their League One home games so far after 1-3-1. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Rochdale faced defeat in their previous match, away at Oxford United (1-3). In the match before that, Rochdale hosted Bristol Rovers and drew the League One game 1-1.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the EFL Trophy game versus Salford City in only three days. This game is also played here at Crown Oil Arena.
Rochdale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Rochdale's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Stockport County form and stats
Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 4th round qualifying.Stockport County have six points from their first three away games in the Vanarama National League, meaning two victories and a loss. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Stockport are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Vanarama National League home defeat versus Weymouth with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Solihull Moors in the Vanarama National League.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Stockport County manager J. Gannon as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Notts County.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Stockport are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Stockport have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
