Rochdale host Crewe Alexandra at Crown Oil Arena, Rochdale, Greater Manchester on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in the League 2.
Rochdale come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Crewe Alexandra travel drawing too many games (5D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 10 previous meetings, Rochdale lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Rochdale look the stronger side on current evidence. Expect them to control proceedings at home, though Crewe Alexandra will make it uncomfortable. Rochdale to win.
