Ahead of Rochdale visit to the PTS Academy stadium, We look at some of the storylines surrounding the game. 

Time for a win? 

The Cobbles haven’t come a way with 3 points in the last 10 meetings with Rochdale. 4 draws and 6 drafts for the Cobblers. 

The last win for the Cobblers over Rochdale was a 3-1 win in 2013. With goals coming from Clive Platt Kevin Langmead and Adebayo Akinfenwa.

The last fixture between the Cobblers and Rochdale a 1-1 draw at the Crown Oil arena with the Cobblers goal coming from Harry Smith on the 20th minute. 

Goal fest?

So far this season the Rochdale have scored 41 goals with a 109 shots on target. However they have also conceded 55 goals with only 5 clean sheets kept, one less than the Cobblers. 

Both sides have played the same amount of games this season and with the Cobblers scoring 3 goals goals v MK Dons on Saturday the goals might also come today. 

Out of the Bottom four?

Tuesdays result could mean the Cobblers move up out of the Relegation zone. 

Games we need to watch are Lincoln City V Swindon, Charlton V Burton, Bristol Rovers V Wigan, AFC Wimbledon v Gillingham. 

The one thing the Cobblers need to make sure is to do the Job and get those three points they deserved at Ipswich and MK Dons.
