The first match between them ended in a 0:0 draw and we expect to see another under 2.5 goals. In this second match, we think that there will be one goal per team or, in other words, a 1:1 draw.

Match Result – Draw

Rochdale have been surprisingly good at home given that they are near the bottom of the league. By good, we mean that they do not lose a lot of matches overall. They are the team with the most draws this season and a huge majority happened at home. Six out of their last 10 home games ended in ties while Rochdale generally lost a single home game in those last ten. Walsall have not been great on the road at all but we think that they will not lose this match once again.

Rochdale vs Walsall: Form, Recent Games, and News

Rochdale Preview

Rochdale could have been much higher in the standings if they weren't getting draws almost every second game. They have a good squad that needs some improvement in defense for the upcoming season. Overall, they did not score any transfers in winter and logically did not improve a lot.

Walsall Preview

Walsall also failed in the winter transfer market and did not acquire any new players for the ones that left the team. Overall, they have been just as good as Rochdale and they should look for improvements in defense before the next season. Right now, there is nothing to play for although we have no doubts that they will try to finish the season on a positive note.
