3-6-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Rochdale so far this season.

Before that, Rochdale played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Colchester United.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 six games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost three.
