The Lancashire Derby sees Rochdale play host to rivals Oldham Athletic at Spotland Stadium on matchday seven of League Two. The visitors have the opportunity to move into at least the promotion-playoff places with a win here. However, given that their last two league meetings against this opponent have ended with under 2.5 goals, our prediction is for another low-scoring affair.
Rochdale have endured a difficult start to their return to League Two, losing four of their last six matches after spending three seasons away from the fourth tier. They are anchored at the bottom of the table on four points.
The Dale began their campaign with a three-match losing streak before recording their first win of the season, beating Shrewsbury Town 3-0 at home.
While that triumph was supposed to be a confidence booster, Ian Watson's men have to build on it. That victory has been followed by a two-match winless run, with Rochdale held to a 0-0 draw by Walsall in their latest outing.
Oldham Athletic are in 14th place with seven points garnered from six games. The gap between them and fifth-placed Walsall is not much, as they are separated by just three points.
It has also been a difficult run of results for the Latics lately, who are winless in three league games. A narrow 2-1 home defeat against Chesterfield over the weekend extended their losing run to two games.

Our Rochdale vs Oldham Athletic Prediction
Rochdale and Oldham Athletic will exchange blows in League Two for the first time in four years. Neither side was able to establish an advantage, as the match ended in a goalless draw.
It was their second league outing in which fewer than two goals were scored, highlighting a similar scenario this weekend where a tense affair could be on the cards. Given the two teams' poor form heading into this clash, neither side can be trusted to step up to the plate. That said, we expect goals to be at a premium. Our Rochdale vs Oldham Athletic prediction: under 2.5 goals.
