Rochdale form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the League One this season. Rochdale, who have the fewest points (10) at home in League One, have only managed 1 win, 7 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Crown Oil Arena. With 15 home League One games in a row without a win, the Rochdale fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fleetwood Town game long ago, can be stopped today.

Happy days for Rochdale in their previous game, a League One match away at Lincoln City (placed 3rd) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Shrewsbury Town with the scoreline 0-2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rochdale as they are travelling to their away game against AFC Wimbledon in the League One. That match is three days after this one.

Rochdale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 17 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Rochdale have conceded 35 goals in these home games, a significant number. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
