Rochdale AFC v Barnet FC Preview

Admin (Mon-Pari-Sportif.com)  - We now take a look at the League Two game opposing Rochdale to Barnet FC tonight at Spotland.

Rochdale’s domestic campaign looks far from over, the hosts of tonight’s game sitting 8th in the league with 47 points, a few games in hand that could see them leapfrog Chesterfield, Wycome, Hereford, and Peterborough, if proved successful.

It is therefore with an extra once of motivation that Rochdale will host 16th-placed Barnet tonight, the hosts all set to bounce back from last week’s 2-0 defeat against Perterborough on their own soil. The home defeat had come as bad news for the fans who had been waiting for four consecutive away games (all won by the way) to see their team make their comeback home.

Stats wise, no contest, Rochdale come on top, with 42 goals scored against 29 for Barnet. Considering Rochdale have only played 12 of their 27 games at home, one can expect they will take advantage of their home ground in the second part of the season.

Both sides are near full strength, the only doubt remaining on Barnet keeper Roy Beckwith, after the goalie dislocated two fingers lately.

Verdict: Home win @ 1.83 looks fair and there to take. This win would mean a first for Rochdale since 1998, having failed to win against Barnet in their last 10 head-to-heads.
