Accrington S. face a trip to Rochdale at Spotland on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Reds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 6 of the 33 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2007, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a League Two match.

Rochdale's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Dale have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Accrington S.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the The Reds have hit 7 goals, 16 have hit the back of the wrong net.
