Prediction: 2-1
Rochdale
After sharing the spoils with Accrington Stanley in their last league match, Coventry City will be looking to retain their spot in the top six when they host Rochdale at their St. Andrew’s Trillion. The Sky Blues have been impressive at home ground in the 2019/2020 season, with the team eyeing their seventh home win of the process. Rochdale, on the other hand, suffered a loss in each of their last three league fixtures, and, as a result, they sit in the 15th position in the standings.
The Dale are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Coventry City, and we do not believe that they are capable of matching the promotion-chasing side at St. Andrew’s Trillion. In their last meeting in the English third tier, Coventry City recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rochdale, and the history is likely to repeat itself.

Highlighted Team (Rochdale):
Nicknamed the Dale, Rochdale are a professional English club that compete in the League One (English third tier). Rochdale were founded back in 1907, after World War I, with the team beating Accrington Stanley 6-3 in their first league game 14 years later.
The Dale wear blue shirts with black stripes and blue shorts when playing at home, whilst gray is the dominant colour of their away kit. Spotland Stadium is the club’s home ground, with the venue holding no more than 10,249 spectators. Bury and Oldham Athletic are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have built up rivalries with the likes of Halifax Town, Burnley, Stockport County, Wigan Athletic and Accrington Stanley as well.
Back in 1962 Rochdale made it to the Football League Cup final, with the team facing Norwich City in the title game. The Canaries proved to be a big catch for the Dale, but this is still considered the club’s biggest success. It has to be noted that the Spotland Stadium outfit have three Lancashire Cup titles as well (1948/1949, 1970/1971, 2004/2005).
