Rochdale vs York City Predictions

Goals expected at both ends in Rochdale

The best bet is both teams to score at Rochdale when York visit in League Two on Saturday. York have scored in seven games in a row and while they might struggle to break down Ian Watson’s side, there should be goals at both ends.

York are seventh in League Two, 13 places above Rochdale, with five more points. York have won five, drawn five and lost four of their 14 games, while Rochdale have four wins, three draws and seven defeats.

Rochdale are struggling to find a win, having gone five League Two games without recording a victory, while York have only won on one of their last 33 road trips.

York dominated possession in their 5-2 defeat at Grimsby two weeks ago, with 68.6% possession, but they ended up losing the game. It was 2-2 at half time, making it four games in a row that York have been level at the break. Alex Hunt and Jack Hunt scored for York.

Both teams have scored in ten of York’s 14 League Two matches this season, and this has been a winning bet in five of their last six games.

Rochdale have scored at least twice in three of their last four League Two games, while York have found the net in 18 of their last 20 matches. No team in the division has scored in more games this season than York’s total of 13.

Both teams are struggling defensively. Rochdale have conceded 26 goals in 14 games – an average of 1.86 goals against per game – while York have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season, after seven League Two road trips.

With five of Rochdale’s last seven League Two games producing three goals or more, a 2-1 away win for York looks a decent correct-score bet.
