Insights:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Rochdale and Shrewsbury Town.

Rochdale form and stats

With 1 League One win, 7 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Rochdale, who have the most conceded goals (61) in League One, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Rochdale are slowly digging their own grave here at Crown Oil Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in 14 attempts. The last victory here came in the Fleetwood Town match. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Rochdale to get some points in this home game.

Rochdale haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 591 minutes ago. M. Lund scored that one.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hull City (0-2).

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

The Rochdale fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Rochdale with 33 goals conceded in these matches.

Shrewsbury Town form and stats

Playing away, Shrewsbury Town have won 5 games, drawn 5 and suffered 5 defeats in the League One this season.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting AFC Wimbledon.

The schedule is very tough for Shrewsbury now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Charlton Athletic is waiting in only four days.

The attacking power of Shrewsbury Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 league matches away. Shrewsbury Town have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Shrewsbury Town - Rochdale 1-2 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Rochdale won five games, one match ended with a draw and Shrewsbury Town has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
