WLLLLD

Burton Albion go into this fixture after a 1-1 League One draw against Bristol Rovers.

Rochdale

DLDWLL

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Hull City in League One competition, Rochdale and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Mallik Wilks (20', 73') and Josh Magennis (75') scored for Hull City.

It is worth noting that Rochdale have had real problems scoring goals over their last six encounters, contributing the disappointing return of only 3. In those fixtures, The Dale have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 8. Despite that, we must now wait to see whether that trend will be sustained here in this game or not.

Heading into this contest, Rochdale haven’t won away from home in the past 8 league games. A poor run.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment here is that Rochdale could find themselves struggling to get anything against this Burton Albion outfit who we reckon should end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

Our tip is therefore for a narrow 1-0 winning score for Burton Albion at full-time.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
