Rochdale vs Scunthorpe Current Form and Standings

Rochdale's form has staggered lately after an exception winning run, dropping points against Halifax and Woking as well as losing in the cup to York and Man Utd U21. They'll be hoping to find winning form again to extend their lead at the top of the table.

Scunthorpe, meanwhile, go into this one in a six-game unbeaten streak, losing only twice in their last 17 fixtures, against Leeds U21 and Carlisle, another promotion candidate. A good result here would put them at the summit of the National League, and they'll be high in confidence to do so.
