The visiting Coventry City side should be favourites in this visit to Rochdale, as the away team holds a 24 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Rochdale form and stats
Rochdale have collected 16 points from their League One home games so far after 4-4-6.
No payout for Rochdale in their previous match, an away game at Sunderland that ended in defeat 0-3. Before that, Rochdale played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Doncaster Rovers.
The game against Sunderland was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.
Rochdale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. 19 goals have been conceded.

Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Coventry City are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Coventry City goalkeeper Marko Marosi is eager to challenge this, with his 193 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Two travels in a row for Coventry City, whose manager M. Robins could celebrate last time after the League One win against Southend United. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Portsmouth.
A new game in only three days for Coventry City, the League One home match versus Rotherham United. Busy days.
The travelling fans enjoy Coventry City's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 15 league matches away. As opposed to that, Coventry City have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.
