General match analysis
Tranmere Rovers are favorites based on their home record: they have won 50% of these matches, have not lost any and average 1.75 goals, while Rochdale score just 0.5 goals per away game. At home, the hosts average 5.75 shots on target per match, compared with 2.75 for the visitors away from home, and their xG is 1.49 versus Rochdale’s 1.00. Tranmere also have the edge defensively at home, conceding an average of 0.75 goals, while the visitors concede 1.25 away and have failed to score in 75% of those matches. However, Rochdale arrive in good form: they have recorded 3 wins and 2 draws in their last five matches, while Tranmere have won just once. This gap in recent results increases the likelihood of a draw, but the hosts’ advantage in finishing and chance quality in their respective home and away settings points to a Tranmere win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest indicator against both teams scoring is Rochdale’s away record: they failed to score in 75% of those matches and averaged just 0.5 goals. Tranmere kept a clean sheet in 60% of their home games, further increasing the risk that the visitors will fail to find the net. The hosts, meanwhile, averaged 1.6 goals at home and scored in every such match, so the BTTS - No pick does not imply a goalless draw. Caution is still warranted, however, as Rochdale averaged 1.6 goals across their last 5 matches overall, while Tranmere conceded 1.4 goals per game over that period. Despite the visitors’ improved form, Rochdale’s away scoring record and the BTTS rates of 25% for the visitors and 40% for the hosts support the BTTS - No pick.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The strongest pick is Under 3.5 goals: this line was not exceeded in any of Rochdale’s analyzed away matches or in 80% of Tranmere’s home matches. The hosts average 1.6 goals at home, but have scored just 0.8 goals per game across their last five matches, tempering expectations for their attack. Rochdale have averaged 0.5 goals away and failed to score in 75% of those matches, although their average of 1.6 goals across their last five matches overall warrants caution. The projected total of 2.35 goals is below the league average of 2.53, and even a three-goal result would still see the selection land.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
In their last five matches, Tranmere were level at half-time four times and failed to score in the first half in every game, while Rochdale went into the break level on three occasions, supporting an X at half-time. After the break, the hosts average 1.0 goal at home, whereas Rochdale have failed to score in that period in their away matches. Tranmere have won 60% of their home games and averaged 1.6 goals, while Rochdale have scored just 0.5 goals per away game and drawn a blank in 75% of those matches. This supports a scenario in which the hosts break the deadlock after the break and win, although the signal is not conclusive: Rochdale have won three of their last five matches, compared with just one for Tranmere.
