Rochdale

DWLDWW

Rochdale will be looking for a repeat result of a 1-2 National League triumph versus Braintree Town.

For Rochdale, the goalscorers were Aidan Barlow (36') and Emmanuel Dieseruvwe (99'). John Akinde (91') was the scorer for Braintree Town.

Rochdale have not been the best at stopping their opponents of late, although they have also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Looking at their last 6 games, Rochdale have seen their goal breached in 5 of them while also scoring in 5 of those matches. Historical results aside, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend will be sustained in this match.

Ahead of this clash, Rochdale have not beaten York City in their previous 4 league matches.

York City

LWWWWW 🔥

York City head into the clash following a 3-0 National League win against Yeovil Town in their last outing.

For York City, goals were scored by Ollie Pearce (23'), Josh Stones (42') and Joe Grey (92').

A series of dependable showings from the York City defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their past 6 fixtures combined. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 9.

A look at their previous results shows us that York City:

• haven't been beaten by Rochdale in games played away from home for the previous 6 league matches. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.

↔️ Head to head

Checking on their past head to head meetings going back to 05/04/2014 shows that Rochdale have won 1 of them and York City 3, with the tally of drawn results standing at 2.

An aggregate of 14 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 4 for The Dale and 10 for The Minstermen. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.33.

The previous league fixture between the two was National League match day 7 on 11/11/2025 when the final score was York City 4-1 Rochdale.

The match was refereed by Matthew Corlett.

⚡ Prediction

We think that Rochdale might have a difficult job to score goals against this York City side who we think might manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even match with a 0-1 winning margin for York City at the conclusion of the game.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
