Rochdale vs Charlton Athletic
England – League One
Date: Saturday, 27th October 2018
Kick-off at 15.00 UK/ 16.00 CET
Venue: Spotland Stadium, Rochdale.
These two mid-table teams clash at the Spotland Stadium in another exciting fixture of the League One. Rochdale has let down their fans in away games but always try to make up for it in their home ties.
Against Charlton who historically have not fared well on the road, the home team will really put on another impressive performance. Charlton has a game in hand as they have taken part in just fourteen ties so far, while the home team has already done with fifteen.
Scoring goals was never really a worry for both sides and have similar records in that criterion. Conceding goals is where things start to get interesting. The higher-placed Charlton has conceded just 19 goals from 14 matches, while Rochdale has allowed 31 goals past them in just 15 ties.
Rochdale has the slight advantage over the visiting Charlton and is expected to at least draw the match in the worst case. The home advantage and their tendency to play an altogether different game at their home make them a tough prospect for any team to be paired with on the road.
Goals have always been plenty in ties involving this sides. 48 goals were scored in total in the last 15 games of Rochdale, whereas 42 goals were celebrated in total, in the last ten of Charlton’s matches. Expect another goal-fest to be added to the long list of records held by the teams.
