BTTS – NO
We get excellent value here although the favoured side is on the road. The match is important, yes. We also expect Rochdale to try and claw its way back out of the relegation zone. Still, 3 goals in 9 matches is a terrible feat and against the 2nd seeded Peterborough, we don't really see Rochdale scoring.
Anytime Goalscorer in the match – Johnson Clarke-Harris
It would have been great had we had a chance to grab this wager at evens but 3/4 still represents good value. Clarke Harris has accounted for 21 of the 54 goals Peterborough has scored this season and that’s nearly 50%. Surely, he will try to score in such an important fixture.
Over/Under Total Goals – over 2.5
Take this tip as a form of hedging the one above. Rochdale’s games average 3.1 goals this season, while Peterborough typically takes part in matches that average 2.5 goals. All of that points to the ”over” selection here and we see the value.
Yes, we expect Rochdale to struggle and even if they don’t put the ball in the net, Peterborough may score 3+.

Rochdale vs Peterborough: David vs Goliath or not really?
Peterborough is within reach of getting a direct promotion to Championship. However, they have been relatively inconsistent lately and if they don't win on Saturday, they may end up giving up the second seed to Sunderland and having to take part in a play-off. They have won 2, lost 2, and drawn 1 during their last 5 matches in the league.
Rochdale won its last game and it was vital for their chances to survive. However, the previous time they took home a victory was on 30.01 after which the team either lost or drew 9 straight. Furthermore, they have a rough time putting the ball in the net.
Over their last 9 matches, Rochdale has managed to score only 3 goals. A terrible stat of a team worthy of relegation.
