Rochdale form and stats

Rochdale have played 17 League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-10-3 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Rochdale tasted defeat here at Crown Oil Arena, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

In their previous game, the manager Stockdale led his Rochdale to a defeat away at Leyton Orient. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Crown Oil Arena. Midfielder Kelly was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.65 (out of ten) in that game. Kelly hit two key passes.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Salford City.

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 13 games. Rochdale has won four of these, drawn eight and lost one.

The manager Stockdale will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Crawley Town in only four days.

Rochdale are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 17 games. More than 55 percent of these goals (11 in total) were scored after at least 60 minutes had been played.
