Rochdale vs Accrington Stanley predictions pit two sides level on 15 points at the Crown Oil Arena, where home comfort meets an Accrington Stanley team unbeaten in their last five League Two outings but still chasing a first away win. Goals have flowed at both ends for each. Kick-off at the Crown Oil Arena is 3pm on Saturday.
There is barely a cigarette paper between them on points, yet the venue and the splits tell a clearer story. Rochdale have been solid on their own patch while Accrington, for all their recent resilience, have not won a single game on their travels this season.
That gap in away form is the thread we pull on below, alongside a Rochdale forward who has started every game and carries the hosts’ main goal threat.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson makes the hosts his starting point at the Crown Oil Arena, with Rochdale’s most dependable attacker priced generously.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Dajaune Brown to score anytime | 29/10 (Ladbrokes) | Rochdale’s attack runs through Dajaune Brown. The striker has four of the club’s 15 league goals, has started all 12 matches and racked up more than 1,000 minutes, so his involvement is guaranteed in a way few League Two forwards can match. Accrington arrive without an away win all season, having drawn three and lost three on the road, and have conceded nine goals in those six trips. We have swerved the fancied Emmanuel Dieseruvwe here, as he is still waiting on his first goal of the campaign, with Brown at 29/10 the smarter anytime play against a defence that travels so poorly. |
| Josh Woods to score anytime | 5/2 (bet365) | Josh Woods is Accrington Stanley’s top scorer with six League Two goals and arrives in form. He scored twice in the 3-1 win over Gillingham on Saturday and again in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at York City, and he has found the net in three of his last five games. Rochdale have conceded eight goals in six home matches, while Accrington have scored in nine of their 12 games. bet365’s 5/2 on Woods scoring at any time sits well alongside our Rochdale scorer pick. |

How Rochdale go into the game
Rochdale sit 14th in League Two, level on 15 points with Saturday’s visitors after 12 games. The Crown Oil Arena has been reasonably kind, offering three wins, one draw and two defeats with 10 goals scored there, and a goal difference of minus two flatters a side that creates plenty.
Form is steady rather than spectacular, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in the last five. That run reads most recently a 2-2 home draw with Grimsby Town, then a 3-2 loss at Crewe Alexandra and a 1-1 draw at Tranmere Rovers, with earlier wins over Swindon Town and at Fleetwood Town. Dajaune Brown, with four goals, remains the focal point.
How Accrington Stanley go into the game
Accrington Stanley travel level on points in 11th, also with 15 from 12. They are unbeaten in their last five, with two wins and three draws, but the caveat is stark: all of that good work has come without an away victory, their road record reading no wins, three draws and three defeats.
Their recent games, a 1-1 draw at York City, a 3-1 home win over Gillingham, a 0-0 at Oldham Athletic, a 2-0 home win against Cheltenham Town and a 1-1 draw at Swindon Town, show a side tough to beat but short of cutting edge away from home, where they have managed just five goals all season.
Rochdale vs Accrington Stanley head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17/04/21 | Rochdale | 3-1 | Accrington Stanley |
| 10/10/20 | Accrington Stanley | 2-1 | Rochdale |
| 01/01/20 | Accrington Stanley | 1-2 | Rochdale |
| 12/10/19 | Rochdale | 2-1 | Accrington Stanley |
| 09/04/19 | Accrington Stanley | 0-1 | Rochdale |
The pair have not met for several years, their last fixtures coming before both clubs dropped down the pyramid, so this history is dated. Rochdale dominated that sequence, winning four of the five meetings on record, including a 3-1 at the Crown Oil Arena, with Accrington’s solitary success a 2-1 home win in 2020. Present form, with the sides level on points, is the far better guide here.
