Rochdale form and stats

Rochdale's struggle is real here at Crown Oil Arena with only 11 points collected from 18 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-8-9.

The last victory here came in the Fleetwood Town match.

Rochdale lost their last game at Portsmouth (placed 5th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that, Rochdale drew at home versus Peterborough United.
