2 victories, 4 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Solihull Moors have to build on here at TALCO Arena in the National League.

Solihull drew their last game, 2-2 away at York City (placed 19th).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Hartlepool United and winning 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Solihull Moors perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Solihull Moors as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Solihull Moors has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Aldershot Town are coming to town in four days.

Rochdale form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their National League travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

Rochdale delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Southend United (placed 23rd) in their previous fixture. It looked so good for Rochdale vs Southend United, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

A 1-2 loss hosting Chesterfield before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rochdale playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 2 Rochdale wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

Sports betting fact: Both teams have scored at least one goal in 9 of this club's last 11 league matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rochdale manager McNulty as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Maidenhead United.

Rochdale has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games. Rochdale have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
