Match Preview
Rochdale hosts Gateshead at Crown Oil Arena on Wednesday evening, with both teams looking to secure vital points in the National League. The home side has had a mixed bag of results recently, with two wins from their last five matches, while Gateshead has shown more consistency, managing three wins in their last five outings. Historically, Rochdale has performed well against Gateshead, winning four of their last ten encounters, which could provide them with a psychological edge. One key angle to consider is Rochdale's home advantage, where they have typically been stronger. Their attacking style could exploit Gateshead's occasional defensive frailties, as evidenced by the fact that both teams have scored in only two of their last ten meetings. With odds of 1.67 for over 2.5 goals, it may be worth backing a high-scoring affair, especially if Rochdale can find their rhythm early. Conversely, Gateshead will be keen to maintain their momentum, making this a potentially thrilling contest.
