Rochdale are welcoming Bolton Wanderers for another important game after their 1-1 result against Newcastle United.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Rochdale form and stats
Rochdale's struggle is real here at Spotland with only 9 points collected from 11 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-6. 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.
The spoils were shared in Rochdale's previous game, also at home. Visiting Newcastle United travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Accrington Stanley.
The manager B. Barry-Murphy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Newcastle United in only three days.
Rochdale have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Rochdale have conceded 17 from these games.
Bolton Wanderers form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bolton Wanderers so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-7 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a League One home defeat versus Burton Albion with 3-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Shrewsbury Town.
A huge disappointment for Bolton Wanderers in their last match (vs Burton Albion). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 3-4 defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Bolton Wanderers now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Lincoln City is waiting in only three days.

People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Bolton Wanderers concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
