Rochdale vs Grimsby Preview
Tuesday’s football game at Spotland Stadium pits together Rochdale and Grimsby Town, with the hosts aiming to recover from their 3-2 defeat to Crewe. The Dale remain firmly focused on the playoff race and will be confident of responding on home soil, having won four of their last five home matches. With no fresh injury concerns, Rochdale have a good opportunity to maintain their strong home form.
Grimsby Town, by contrast, travel to Lancashire on a four-game losing streak after suffering a 2-0 defeat to Northampton at the weekend. The Mariners have struggled badly on their travels, conceding 1.80 goals per away game and failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five away matches. Defender Edon Pruti is suspended, while Doug Tharme is also a doubt with an injury.
Rochdale’s home advantage and Grimsby’s defensive problems make the hosts favourites to take all three points, despite the visitors’ better head-to-head record. The Dale have averaged 2.00 goals per home game, so Rochdale to Win, Over 1.5 goals and Rochdale Over 1.5 markets are worth considering.
