Rochdale, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Rochdale supremo Jim Bentley after sustaining a heavy 4-1 home loss to Harrogate Town.
Having conceded 8 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They are showing great consistency at Crown Oil Arena in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. Bentley will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 9 of their 10 this season.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 7 of the first 10 league games at Crown Oil Arena.
Hartlepool United, Recent FormHartlepool United will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their away fixture against Crawley Town.
Their boss Keith Curle is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 5 goals scored. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 10 of their last 11 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 11 away games.
The Hartlepool United travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Josh Umerah, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Rochdale that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between The Pool and their rivals, Rochdale, the former have conceded at least one goal.
In the league, Rochdale has a good track record when they host Hartlepool, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
With no real injury worries, Rochdale manager Jim Bentley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Hartlepool manager Keith Curle has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
