Rochdale vs Scunthorpe United: match statistics
Rochdale presents impressive home form with 87% wins and only 13% losses at their own stadium, occupying a high 2nd position in the table. The hosts have won 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring 10 goals and conceding only 4, confirming their excellent disposition. Scunthorpe United, despite a decent position in the table (5th place), shows weaker away form with only 47% wins and a worrying recent series of 3 losses in 5 matches, conceding as many as 13 goals in the process. The difference in average goals scored per match (2.13 for Rochdale at home vs 1.8 for Scunthorpe away) and the advantage in possession (57% vs 49%) further argue for the hosts.
