The football year has been a rollercoaster for these teams so far, loss and gain leading to mid-table positions so far. Make ready for Rochdale - Crawley Town!
- Crawley Town have the most conceded goals (10) away in League Two
It's no vacation for neither Rochdale nor Crawley Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Rochdale form and stats
1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Rochdale have to build on here at Crown Oil Arena in the League Two.
D. Cashman was the last player to score a league goal for Rochdale and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Rochdale haven't scored in 220 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager R. Stockdale led his Rochdale to a defeat in the EFL Trophy match away at Port Vale. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Crown Oil Arena. Heartbreak for Rochdale in their last match as Port Vale's M. Taylor (own goal) scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Heartbreak before that as Rochdale lost 0-2 at Bradford City's place.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rochdale have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost three.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Rochdale here at Crown Oil Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). Rochdale have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Crawley Town form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League Two travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 4 defeats.
Crawley's previous game was their home loss versus Leyton Orient (0-4). Crawley lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Prior to that match, the Crawley Town manager J. Yems faced defeat when travelling to Tranmere Rovers and losing 1-2.Crawley are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, five draws and six defeats. From a total of 16 matches.
Crawley Town have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. The Crawley manager J. Yems has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the former two meetings featuring these two teams are: two wins for Rochdale, zero draws and zero wins for Crawley Town. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.Top Goalscorers
