In their last meeting, Rochdale faced the club for a final score of 1 - 0. Between Altrincham who are currently 15th in the National League with a total record of 8 wins, 2 draws and 12 defeats, and Rochdale ranked 1st in the National League and presenting a total record of 15 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses, we see Rochdale's victory.

Looking at recent fixtures, Altrincham’s schedule has been demanding, with matches against Aldershot, Scunthorpe, Southend, and Brackley Town testing their consistency. Their win against Scunthorpe was a highlight, but the 3-0 loss to Southend exposed defensive vulnerabilities that Rochdale will be eager to exploit. Upcoming games against Halifax, York, and Morecambe will further challenge Gibson’s side, making this clash with Rochdale a crucial test of their progress under new leadership. Rochdale’s recent run has been steadier, with wins against Eastleigh and Aldershot, plus a narrow victory over Tamworth, keeping them firmly in contention at the top end of the table. Their ability to grind out results, coupled with a strong defensive record, suggests they will approach this match with confidence and a clear plan to dominate possession and capitalize on Altrincham’s weaknesses.

Taking all factors into account, this fixture appears to tilt in Rochdale’s favor. Altrincham’s transitional phase under a new manager, combined with their inconsistent defensive performances, contrasts sharply with Rochdale’s momentum and disciplined approach. The Dale’s attacking options, bolstered by recent squad additions, should prove too much for Altrincham to contain over ninety minutes. While the Robins may find a way to score at home, Rochdale’s superior form and tactical balance point toward a convincing away victory. Therefore, the most realistic prediction for this National League encounter is a 1:3 scoreline, with Rochdale asserting their dominance and continuing their push for promotion.
