The club members enjoyed Rochdale's previous match versus Walsall (placed 13th), a 4-2 win played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Walsall was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Ahead of that match was the victory versus AFC Wimbledon at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Rochdale as they have only managed to score 15 times from 20 away games in the league.
