Rochdale form and stats

Last season, Rochdale's league statistics were 11 wins, 14 draws and 21 losses, resulting in a 21st position in the League One. Over these 46 matches they scored 61 goals and conceded 78. Playing at home last season Rochdale managed 4-9-10 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 42 conceded.

No payout for Rochdale in their previous match, an away game at Harrogate Town that ended in defeat 2-3. Attacking player Alex Newby bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 8.24 out of 10. Newby scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 24 successful passes (of 29 total). The defeat against Harrogate Town was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by W. Burrell).

Before that match, a League One win away at Milton Keynes Dons.

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 two times, drawn one and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Forest Green Rovers are coming to town in three days.

Scunthorpe United form and stats

Let's have a look at how Scunthorpe United performed last season in the League Two: They landed a 22nd position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 9 draws and 24 defeats. In total they scored 41 and conceded 64 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 3 and lost 14 with 19/36 goals scored/conceded.

Scunthorpe play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Barrow (placed 19th). Manny Onariase was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Onariase hit one key pass and won 6 of 6 duels.

The game before that, in the League Two, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Swindon Town.

Scunthorpe are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and six defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Scunthorpe manager N. Cox as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Walsall.

Head 2 Head

Rochdale-Scunthorpe United H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Rochdale four wins, Scunthorpe United two wins, four draws. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
