Rochdale form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the National League.

Rochdale are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the match against Barnet (placed 3rd). As you can tell from the result, the match against Barnet was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
