Match Preview
Rochdale hosts Sutton United at the Crown Oil Arena on Monday, 25 August, in a clash that sees the home side looking to build on their recent form. Rochdale comes into this match with three wins from their last five outings, showcasing a strong attacking prowess. In contrast, Sutton United has struggled, managing just one win in their last five matches, which could put them at a disadvantage. Historically, Rochdale has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters, and they will be keen to continue that trend.
One key angle to consider is the likelihood of goals, given both teams' recent performances. Rochdale has been involved in matches with over 2.5 goals in four of their last ten meetings, while Sutton's defensive frailties have seen them concede consistently. With odds of 1.8 for over 2.5 goals, this match could see plenty of action, particularly if Rochdale's forwards find their rhythm early on. Expect an entertaining encounter as both teams seek crucial points in the National League.
