EV: -3.6%
Rochdale are top with a 16-1-2 home record and a +28 home goal difference. Tamworth have lost 10/19 away and have a -18 away goal difference. However, odds are very short and value is marginal.
Match Analysis
Rochdale, the league leaders with a dominant home record, host mid-table Tamworth, who have struggled on the road. Rochdale are on a four-match winning streak and have scored 2.2 goals per game in their last five, while Tamworth have lost three of their last five and concede an average of 2.2 goals per game in that span. Head-to-head history is in Rochdale's favour, including a 3-0 win at home earlier in the season. Expect Rochdale to control proceedings, with a strong chance of a clean sheet, but Tamworth's recent tendency to score means an over 2.5 goals bet has value.
