Rochdale vs Chesterfield Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

A Boxing Day visit of Chesterfield presents Rochdale with an excellent opportunity to continue their winning run – a run that currently stands at two.

In front of their own fans Rochdale have thrived this season. They’ve scored plenty of goals and have won the majority of their matches. Their record of eight wins, one draw and two losses is the second best in the division and a trip to Spotland Stadium is proving a tough task for anyone.

At odds of 4/6, ‘Rochdale to Score Over 1.5 Goals’ is the best bet ahead of this fixture. Having scored 23 goals on their own patch, Rochdale are the second highest scorers at home in the entire division and can continue such attacking form here.

In their 11 home matches Rochdale have scored at least twice on seven occasions. Combine this with the fact that Chesterfield have conceded two or more in eight of their 11 away games and it becomes very hard indeed to look past home goals in this fixture.

Chesterfield may have taken a big step towards improvement with their narrow home win last weekend but they will certainly need to fare better on the road; however, facing Rochdale isn’t exactly what you want when trying to do this and they are fancied to struggle once more.
