Stockport is in a battle for direct promotion while Rochdale is virtually assured of being relegated with three rounds of matches before the end of the season.

Over 2.5 Goals

Stockport has a top-four efficiency rating in the league this season, but it's a bit surprising that they don't have more than 2.5 goals in matches than their current number of 17 in 43 matches played. For this Stockport vs Rochdale prediction we are still going with the ‘over' mark as the home team is ready to take the challenge and make sure they put the worst club in the league through the rigors of playing for a higher goal. Rochdale had 19 matches this season with more than two goals scored. In their last five league games, Stockport had two while Rochdale played three over two and a half goals outings.

Half-Time Stockport

Stockport vs Rochdale Lineups, Team News, and Preview

Stockport

The hosts have been doing an amazing job the last couple of months, from their past 20 matches, they lost only twice which put them in a good position challenging for promotion. Unfortunately, Stockport will likely miss one of the top three spots that would take them directly to League One, instead having them focused on promotion playoffs. They are fourth in the standings, but they could also still miss out on one of the positions that would allow them a different route toward League One.

Probable lineup: Hinchliffe, Wright, Horsfall, Hussey, Knoyle, Collar, Croasdale, Camps, Hippolyte, Stretton, Madden.

Rochdale

The guest team's disastrous season is going to have the same end. With only three rounds of matches before the season comes to an end they could very well be relegated this weekend if Crawley Town wins their match or Rochdale losses to Stockport which is a likely scenario. Rochdale has won a league-low eight games this season, and that is the predominant reason why they are going to be playing in lower league football next season.

Probable lineup: O'Donnell, Dodgson, Taylor, Ebanks-Landell, Koehane, Bughall-Mellor, Kelly, Brierley, Lloyd-McGoldrick, Henderson, Odoh.

Starting Lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Kyle Wooton

Stockport's leading scorer with 14 goals has been a beacon of light for the team as they are battling for promotion to League One. With the goals he has scored, Wooton also assisted on four occasions while playing over 90 percent of available minutes this season in 42 matches.
