Rochdale return home after losing their most recent match 2-3 at home to an opponent above them in the table. This game is therefore another chance to reset in League Two, where both teams are still in mid-table, separated by just a point. Rochdale have won two of their last five league games, but their defence still shows clear cracks, especially in the cup thrashing and the most recent match where they conceded three goals. Meanwhile, Grimsby Town have not won any of their last five matches in a row, and in their last five games they have scored only one goal per game or fewer, so their attack is still not clicking. This game is likely to see Rochdale as the side pushing forward, because Grimsby Town play away by sitting deep and waiting to counter. According to the stats, their first-half away average is only 0.33 goals per game, so Rochdale have a better chance to control the tempo and create more opportunities, but they must be careful in the late stages of the game, when both scoring and conceding are most frequent.
