Rochdale v Brackley Tips

A win for Rochdale will see them return to the top of the table. Brackley are one place above the relegation zone and lost their last away game. Rochdale have won six and drawn one of their last seven home games, so take them to get the win and move to the top of the table.

Brackley are in a relegation battle. They, however, drew four of their past nine matches in all competitions. Rochdale drew three of their last five league matches.

Rochdale have recorded 14 wins and 2 losses in 17 home matches in the league this season. They come here after 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5 matches. Brackley have 3 wins and 8 losses after their first 16 away matches in the league, including 1 win in their last 2 away matches. Brackley won the first mutual match this season. At these odds, I will try Brackley.

Rochdale has made over 2.5 goals four times in its last six home games in the National League. Brackley have three such results in their last four games in this division. This is sure enough for me to expect 3+ goals in this match too.

Rochdale has had both teams to score six times in its last nine games. Brackley have had seven such results in their last ten matches. Considering these facts, I expect both teams to score here too.

Of course, Rochdale is heavy favourite in this game and they will probably win today. But I expect Brackley to score too because six of the previous nine games of the hosts were both teams to score. Also, Brackley has registered seven such results in their last ten games overall, despite their poor form.
