Fleetwood Town – Rochdale

Fleetwood Town host a struggling Rochdale side in what promises to be a decisive fixture in the lower half of the table. The home team sit seventh with ten points from six games, unbeaten but only two wins to their name, and a modest +3 goal difference after scoring seven and conceding four. Rochdale, languishing at the foot of the league in 24th place, have managed just four points, their solitary victory and draw offset by four defeats and a –5 goal margin. With Fleetwood looking to consolidate a top‑half push and Rochdale desperate for points to avoid the drop, the clash could prove pivotal for both campaigns.
