Following on from being beaten in their last game against Hartlepool United in National League action, Rochdale will be hoping to turn things around here.

The only player to score from Rochdale was Ian Henderson (79'). Maxim Kouogun (21') and Luke Charman (28') scored for Hartlepool United.

Over the course of their previous half-dozen clashes, Rochdale have amassed a tally of 11 goals. Rochdale have additionally got on the scoresheet on each one of those occasions. During that period, they have seen 4 goals scored by their opponents. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, though.

📋 Team News: Gateshead

Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the Gateshead manager Rob Elliot to be concerned with due to a largely intact squad. Connor Pani (Achilles tendon rupture) is out of contention.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Gateshead have it in them to find the net against this Rochdale lineup, although just one goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re therefore expecting a narrow 1-2 victory for Rochdale when the referee blows the final whistle. It should be a decent one.
