Rochdale vs Swindon Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

When these two teams faced each other just one month ago, Swindon recorded a seemingly resounding victory and Rochdale, who went into the match unbeaten in three, simply had no answer. Since then the form of both has been a bit patchy and this is a tough one to call.

In front of their home fans, Rochdale have been tough to face and it really is hard to see them struggling as they did last time. With not too much appealing here, it’s worth chancing ‘Under 0.5 First Half Goals’ at 7/4.

The hosts have been very good defensively at home recently, conceding just one goal in their last five and just six all season, while the visitors have scored just two first half goals in their last five. In addition, Swindon come here off the back of a disappointing FA Cup defeat and will surely be looking to keep things tight in the early parts of the game.

This game could be a bit cat and mouse during the opening exchanges and even though Rochdale like to dominate at home, it may take them some time to break the visitors down.

In a game where not a great deal appeals, a poor first half is fancied. The hosts are probably the more likely to come out on top but a high-scoring match certainly isn’t expected.
