Rochdale vs Sheffield Utd

Rochdale is now to the bottom of League One after yesterday’s results, ignoring the victory for four games and suffered three defeats. The latest was last Saturday away to Yeovil with the score of 3-1. Five games remaining for the end of the season and Rochdale already preparing their plans for next season in League Two, except if we see a shocking surprise, as they are eleven points far away from teams that do not relegate. Highly doubtful for today’s game is main defender Kevin Long, who was injured and withdrew from the match against Yeovil, otherwise there are no significant problems.

 

Sheffield Utd battle against Sheffield Wednesday for the second privileged position which leads directly to the Championship is continued. With a victory tonight they will pass again their hated rivals. Last Saturday, they remained unbeaten for the seventh game with a 2-1 home win over Bournemouth. From the start of the game Sheffield United pressed tightly the defense of Bournemouth, and managed to open the scoring in 34′ minute, and double the goals at the fifth minute of the second half, while Bournemouth reduced to 2-1 and chased the equalizer but failed as United kept well to the back without too much effort. It was the fourth consecutive victory for the Blades, who tonight have no room for any loss of points against almost relegated Rochdale, and have no absences for the game.
