Rochdale welcome Grimsby Town to Spotland Stadium on Tuesday at 7.45pm, two sides separated by a single point but heading in opposite directions.
Our Rochdale vs Grimsby Town predictions back the hosts to cash in on the strong home record that has underpinned their League Two campaign, even with the market making the visitors slight favourites. Grimsby roll into the 7.45pm kick-off having lost four league games on the spin, and we fancy Rochdale’s form at Spotland to prove decisive.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has picked out two bets for Spotland, siding with Rochdale on the double chance and backing Dajaune Brown in the anytime scorer market.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Rochdale double chance (Rochdale or draw) | 8/11 (Sky Bet) | Rochdale have been excellent at Spotland Stadium this season, winning three of their five home games and losing only twice, which gives us a solid platform at 8/11. Grimsby Town arrive in wretched away form, without a win in five on the road (W0 D3 L2) and beaten in each of their last four league games. The hosts also carry the sharper attacking threat here, scoring eight goals across those five home outings. Backing Rochdale or the draw removes the one real danger, namely a Grimsby smash-and-grab, and with the visitors so short of confidence, taking the two most likely outcomes at this price makes real appeal. |
| Dajaune Brown to score anytime | 11/4 (Ladbrokes) | Dajaune Brown leads Rochdale’s scoring charts with three goals already this season, and he looks fairly priced at 11/4 to find the net again. Grimsby Town have leaked goals on their travels, shipping seven in five away games, and they travel to Spotland having lost each of their last four league matches. With Rochdale expected to carry the greater threat in front of their own supporters, Brown should get his chances against a defence low on confidence. He has been the hosts’ most reliable finisher so far, and in a game we expect them to edge, backing their top scorer to get on the scoresheet holds plenty of appeal at this price. |

How Rochdale go into the game
Rochdale sit 13th in League Two with 14 points from 11 games, having won four, drawn two and lost five. A 3-2 defeat at Crewe Alexandra last time out, following a 1-1 draw at Tranmere Rovers, has checked their momentum, but those two results came straight after a run of three successive league wins.
At Spotland Stadium the picture is healthier, with three victories from five home games (W3 D0 L2) and eight goals scored on their own patch. That home scoring record, allied to Grimsby’s dismal away form, is the foundation for our selections.
How Grimsby Town go into the game
Grimsby Town lie 15th on 13 points from 11 games (W3 D4 L4), their goals for and against both reading 13. The visitors go into this one in a slump, beaten 2-0 at home by Northampton Town last time out and losing each of their last four league matches, their most recent win coming five games back in a 2-0 home success over Crawley Town.
On the road Grimsby have been well below par, failing to win any of their five away games (W0 D3 L2) and conceding seven goals in the process. Three away draws aside, they have struggled to take anything from their travels, which bodes poorly for a trip to a Rochdale side so strong at home.
Rochdale vs Grimsby Town head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11/03/23 | Grimsby Town | 1-0 | Rochdale |
| 13/08/22 | Rochdale | 0-1 | Grimsby Town |
| 14/08/18 | Grimsby Town | 0-2 | Rochdale |
Meetings between these two have been rare of late, with just three on record. Grimsby Town won both recent league encounters, including a 1-0 success in March 2023, while Rochdale’s victory came in a 2018 cup tie, a 2-0 win at Blundell Park.

Rochdale vs Grimsby Town score prediction
Everything points to a home side rediscovering its best at Spotland against opponents in freefall on the road. Grimsby Town have lost four in a row and cannot win away, while Rochdale carry the goals and the home record to take charge. We expect Dajaune Brown to feature in a Rochdale win, with Grimsby’s attack good enough to claim a consolation. Score prediction: Rochdale 2-1 Grimsby Town.
