Rochdale – Rotherham

Rochdale host Rotherham in a clash that pits a 24th‑placed side with just four points against a 16th‑place outfit sitting on six. The home side have struggled to find the net, managing only five goals while conceding ten, whereas Rotherham’s defence has been marginally tighter, allowing ten but scoring nine. Both teams have only one win each this season, but Rotherham have drawn three times compared with Rochdale’s single stalemate, giving the visitors a slight edge in recent form. The encounter offers Rochdale a chance to close the gap on the bottom and Rotherham an opportunity to climb out of the lower mid‑table.
