The read
The deskGrimsby arrive on three straight league defeats and sit just below Rochdale in the table, yet they're priced as favourites for this one. Rochdale's recent form is the better of the two, and with no fresh injury news to change that picture, the home side look like the stronger side on the night.

The research
ProGrimsby are the market's shortest price and nominal favourites at 2.05, yet they come in on 3 straight defeats inside a last-5 run of L D L L L (4 losses, 1 draw) and sit 11th, one place below Rochdale's 10th. Rochdale's own last 5 (D L W W D) has only 1 defeat. The form line says the wrong side is priced as favourite.
The last 4 meetings between these sides produced 0 draws, 2 wins apiece. Rochdale's last 5 has 2 draws but Grimsby's has only 1, with 3 of their last 3 results being outright losses, not stalemates. A level finish is the outcome with the least support in the fixture history.
“Grimsby's three-game losing run makes them a flawed favourite; Rochdale's form favours the home win”
