Woking form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first National League game of the season here at The Laithwaite Community Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 11 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses from Woking's 23 home games.

Woking's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Altrincham (placed 6th).

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Kidderminster Harriers the opponent.

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 Woking have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Woking are traveling soon after this match as the National League match at Barnet awaits in four days.

Rochdale form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the National League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 6 draws and 13 defeats from 23 matches.

Rochdale play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Oxford City (placed 23rd).

A loss against Ebbsfleet United was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Rochdale are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Eastleigh in just four days.

{1 goals} so far away for Rochdale, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
