Rochdale vs Plymouth Argyle Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Rochdale

DLWLLL 📉

Rochdale will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 1-0 League One defeat last time out to Blackpool.

Sullay Kaikai (21') scored for Blackpool.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Rochdale have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that The Dale have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 14 goals on the way. Let’s see if that trend will be sustained here.

Ahead of this clash, Rochdale are without a win at home for the past 12 matches in the league. No joy for the home fans.

Plymouth Argyle
