Rochdale
- Rochdale are 16th in League Two 2026/2027 having taken 10 points from their opening 8 games.
- Ian Watson has moulded Rochdale into a 4-2-3-1 side that likes to have the ball and can hurt teams with their ability to build up from midfield with clever play.
- Their last league game was a 2-1 away win over Fleetwood Town which came after a 3-3 home draw with FC Liverpool U21 and a penalty shootout loss in the EFL Trophy.
Swindon Town
- Swindon Town are 12th in League Two 2026/2027 having picked up 11 points from their first 8 games.
- Swindon Town have endured a rotten spell of form as of late, taking 1 draw and 4 defeats from their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- Ian Holloway's men have a high tempo front-foot style of play which can be very dangerous.
Key Players
- Babajide Adeeko leads the scoring for the Dale in League Two 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 7 appearances while Ian Henderson has chipped in with 2 of the 6 goals that Rochdale have scored in their last 5 games.
- Aaron Drinan has been Swindon Town's sharpest edge in League Two 2026/2027 with 5 goals in 7 games, but the Robins have just not been clinical enough in the final third so far.
Betting Insights
- This one looks like a tight game on paper, but Rochdale's home-field advantage and Swindon's away struggles make the slight lean towards The Dale.
- 2.42 looks a little bit on the short side for Rochdale though, with The Robins just a few ticks behind at 2.7.
Prediction
The market has this down to a close match, but I think this could be a 4-4 type of game, so I'm going with over 2.5 goals at 1.8 and both teams to score at 1.62 .
