This match features two teams living in the basement of the League One, Rochdale holding 20th place and Wycombe Wanderers lying 17th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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, who have the most conceded goals (83) in League One, have played 21 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-11 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Rochdale will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the League One game against Portsmouth. A strong away win before that one, visiting Accrington Stanley and winning 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Rochdale perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rochdale as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Rochdale has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 5.

The manager B. Barry-Murphy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bristol Rovers in only three days.

Rochdale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 23 goals in 21 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 37 goals have been conceded.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

Wycombe Wanderers have only collected 18 points from their away games after 4-6-11 (21 played).

Two travels in a row for Wycombe Wanderers, whose manager G. Ainsworth could celebrate last time after the League One win against Southend United. A 0-1 loss hosting Charlton Athletic before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wycombe Wanderers playing away and similar expectations, we found 46 relevant matches. Results were 16 Wycombe Wanderers wins, 13 draws and 17 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Walsall in just three days.

Wycombe Wanderers are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 26 away goals from 21 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Wycombe Wanderers have conceded 38 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
