Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: Rochdale win or Draw
Betting on Rochdale to win or draw in the Double Chance market is a solid pick for this fixture. With home advantage on their side, they stand a great chance of securing a positive result against Swindon Town.
Given their consistency at home and the added cushion of a draw still landing the bet, the 1X market is a smart and calculated choice.
👉 Our prediction is: Draw
This matchup between Rochdale and Swindon Town has all the makings of a hard-fought stalemate, so our top tip for the match is to bet on the draw on the 1X2 market.
Neither side is particularly appealing to bet on to win given their uneven form of late. And we also see great value in the 3.4 odds for a draw, which is hard to pass up.
