FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Dale's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Morecambe. Home Win

| Rochdale | Won 3 successive home games. 14 games since last home draw. Unbeaten run of 7 matches. |
| Morecambe | Undefeated in last 6 away games. No win in the 2 most recent games. |
