Betting Insights
- It is hard to look beyond Accrington Stanley for a result on Saturday and that is primarily down to Rochdale being the slight favourites at 2.32, ahead of the Reds at 2.94 and the draw at 3.35.
- At the prices, The Reds look the better bet here and that is why we are going with them to get a result, although this could be a close game.
- Rochdale have scored 16 goals in their five home games, but Accrington have managed just 2 in 3 on the road.
Prediction
- This game has the feel of a chess match about it, where Rochdale will attempt to unlock Accrington's tight block and the visitors will be looking to counter-punch.
- This looks like a long game for The Dale and one where Accrington will be set up to spoil the fun.
- We are taking the under 2.5 goals market at 1.77, which fits the cagey feel of this matchup, and Both Teams To Score - No at 1.93 also appeals, especially as Rochdale are coming into this one with something of a wobble.
