Rochdale, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against Crewe Alexandra in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Rochdale.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
A home win for Rochdale is just a distant memory, having not won at Crown Oil Arena in 9 games.
Stevenage, Recent FormStevenage enter this game with a comfortable 3-2 away win over AFC Wimbledon last time out in the league.
Manager Steve Evans will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing away from home this season, with 8 draws in 16 away league games.
On an individual basis, Luke Norris will be looking to cause Rochdale some problems having scored 2 goals in Stevenage's last 6 away games in the league.
The 1-0 victory which Stevenage recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Boro will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Rochdale having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings. Ahead of this match, Rochdale won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against The Boro. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Stevenage know how to do it against The Dale, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Stevenage has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Rochdale in 5 games.
With no real injury worries, Rochdale manager Jim Bentley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Stevenage manager Steve Evans has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
