Cheltenham T. are ready to welcome Rochdale to Whaddon Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Robins winning just 1.
The previous match played between the two at Whaddon Road was more than three years back, in February 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Robins at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Dale come away with an easy victory. Away win
