Rochdale will be eager to make amends for a disappointing League Two opener when they welcome Crawley Town. The newcomers suffered a 3-0 defeat to Newport County on the road and will now be hoping to produce a much-improved display in front of their home supporters. Rochdale have won 50% of their last 10 home matches, although they have conceded 1.75 goals per game during that run. Important defender Bryan Bilongo will miss out through suspension after being sent off against Newport.
Crawley, meanwhile, also suffered defeat in their opener, losing 1-0 to Crewe in a game where Ebiowei-Gordon was shown a red card. The forward will now serve a suspension alongside another unavailable player, leaving the visitors with fewer options. Crawley have kept a clean sheet in 50% of their last 10 matches and conceded just 0.60 goals per game at home, but their away record has been less convincing. They will need to improve their attacking output after failing to score in 50% of their recent games.
Only 2 of the last 6 H2H meetings produced over 2.5 goals, while Crawley have seen just 2.00 total goals per game in their last 10. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
