A Sports Betting Preview by ArmchairPunter

Scunthorpe Utd v Rochdale
Football : England: National League
Venue: Glanford Park
Wednesday 25th March 2026, 1945hrs (GMT)

---

Scunthorpe United collected a third league win on the trot in the National League under manager Andy Butler on the weekend as The Iron registered a 3-2 win away from home against strugglers Braintree Town and this will give the hosts a welcome boost ahead of playing host to league leaders Rochdale on Wednesday night.

Previous victories against the likes of Altrincham and Truro City have helped Scunthorpe United into the play-off pack but with just five points separating Butler’s side and 3rd placed Carlisle United, a further play-off advantage is at stake for the hosts.

With just one loss in their last six matches in the National League which includes an earlier 3-0 thumping of Yeovil Town at Huish Park, Scunthorpe United look in good shape to at least hold their own on Wednesday night at Glanford Park, especially with a home record of 11-4-4 34/25 under their belts.

Rochdale and York City continue to battle it out for the coveted top place finish in the National League table and Rochdale hold a two-point lead over their promotion rivals following a nervy 3-2 home win against Tamworth on the weekend.

Despite slipping up in a 3-2 loss away from home at Southend United in their previous match, Rochdale have suffered just this single loss within their previous 17 matches overall in the non-league top flight which includes picking up no fewer than 13 wins in the process.

The Dale also possess an impressive looking record away from home in the National League of 13-3-3 34/17 to date this term and manager Jimmy McNulty will be urging his side onto even greater things on Wednesday night.

The Betting Verdict

Scunthorpe United held Rochdale to a 1-1 draw away from home in the previous meeting and the hosts could frustrate their opponents once again at Glanford Park.
