It's still early in the League One season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Accrington Stanley - Rochdale preview!

Accrington have less rest than Rochdale in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a EFL Trophy game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Blackpool, was also a home game here at Wham Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Accrington Stanley form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Accrington Stanley's two home games in the League One so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Wham Stadium.

The spoils were shared in Accrington Stanley's previous game, also at home. Visiting Blackpool (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) (placed 21st) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting AFC Wimbledon.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Accrington Stanley handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, one draw and three defeats.

Accrington Stanley has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 4 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Rochdale form and stats

It's not happening yet for Rochdale on their League One travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Rochdale seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Rochdale are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the League One against Fleetwood Town (placed 22nd). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Manchester United U21 (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties).

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager B. Barry-Murphy when Fabio Tavares scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute.

Rochdale are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and four defeats. From a total of six matches.

It's early days yet, but Rochdale has scored 1 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Accrington Stanley won two games, zero matches ended with a draw and Rochdale has eight wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two
