Rochdale to win
Despite many of the field problems surrounding the club, Rochdale are expected to be around the promotion spots by the end of the season. The core of the team is quite good and they were unable to get to the finishing spot against Harrogate Town in the opening game. However, the big assistance for Rochdale win in this match might come from Scunthorpe, who have been very poor for the best part of the last six months.
Total goals more than 2.5
Rochdale came up with two goals in the opener to suggest that the team might end up creating a lot of chances for fans in this season. Scunthorpe also had a decent belief around them before being pegged back by Swindon in the second half. This match witnesses two teams on a confident run and this could drive up the goals.
Goals from both teams – yes
The meetings between Rochdale and Scunthorpe have been filled with plenty of opportunities at both ends even going back to the meeting in 2016 when the two teams were in League One. The offensive nature of Rochdale coupled with their indiscipline back could lead to goals at both ends.
