Fleetwood - Rochdale

Fleetwood Town host Rochdale on 26 September 2026 for matchday 8 of League Two, as both sides look to find consistency. Fleetwood arrive following a mixed run that saw them secure a notable 1-0 victory against Sheffield United in the EFL Cup, though they recently stumbled with a 3-1 defeat to Barnet. Their league campaign has been defined by tight margins, including a 1-1 draw with Newport County and a solid 2-0 win over Shrewsbury Town earlier this month.

Rochdale travel to Highbury Stadium, Fleetwood, aiming to build on their recent 2-0 victory against Oldham Athletic. Their early season form has been erratic, featuring a heavy 4-1 loss to Gillingham followed by a resilient 0-0 draw at Walsall. The clubs last met in League One on 10 April 2021, when Fleetwood secured a 1-0 win. Both sides now face the challenge of establishing momentum in this competitive division.
