Prediction: 0-1
Leyton Orient
Rochdale and Leyton Orient go head to head at Spotland Stadium in the League Two round 9. The Dale are stuck at the bottom with only two points in their pocket, and they must be low on confidence ahead of the visit of Leyton. Midfielder Liam Kelly should miss out with injury, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The O’s, on the other hand, are leading the chase for automatic promotion. Leyton are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and given Rochdale’s poor form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. Paul Smyth, who has already equaled the last season’s goal-scoring record, will the man to watch in the away team. Head coach Richie Wellens has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Lancashire.
