Rochdale host Cheltenham Town at Crown Oil Arena, Rochdale, Greater Manchester on Saturday, May 8 at 4:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the League 2, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Rochdale come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Cheltenham Town, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 2D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Rochdale and Cheltenham Town have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Rochdale won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Rochdale win or a draw looks most likely.
