Prediction: 1-2
Stockport County
Spotland Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Rochdale and Stockport County, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. The Dale are stuck at the bottom with only 21 points in their pockets, and they do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the visit of Stockport County. Goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell suffered an injury in a 2-0 loss to Gillingham with Jake Eastwood likely to step up.
The Hatters, on the other hand, aim to extend their winning run to five games. Stockport have been impressive in front of goal of late, and given Rochdale's shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing visitors. Captain Paddy Madden remains in the recovery room alongside Macauley Southam-Hales, Phil Bardsley, Antoni Sarcevic, and Aaron Rowe. Fraser Horsfall could play some part in the midweek clash after overcoming his injury.
Highlighted Player (Liam Kelly):
Born in Newport Pagnell, England Liam Kelly is a right-footed midfielder who plays for Coventry City in the League One. Kelly is a product of Milton Keynes Dons football school, but he did not play for the club at senior level. The English footballer started his senior career at Scottish club Kilmarnock, but after making 100 appearances in the league for the Killie, he moved to England, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal with Bristol City.
The English footballer played for the likes of Oldaham Athletic and Leyton Orient as well before joining Coventry City in the summer of 2017. His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and right midfielder as well.
His preferred foot is right. He made his league debut with Coventry City on August 5, 2017 in a 3-0 win over Notts County, while scoring his first goal for the club in a 3-1 win over Stevenage in April, 2018.
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).
