👉 Our prediction is: Rochdale win or draw

Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Rochdale or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.

Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Rochdale not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to York City to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.

👉 Our prediction is: Rochdale to win the 1st half

While the half-time market is not a particularly popular betting market, it does provide a good deal of value. And this is true for Rochdale vs York City, where we have Rochdale to win the first half as our best bet.

Rochdale has been quite a fast starter at home as they quickly put the pressure on their visitors in the opening minutes. That strategy should lead to a Rochdale taking an advantage into half-time.
