It's League One action for Paul Robinson this evening as he goes to Rochdale in search of his third Against All Odds winner in a row...

"The Dale have racked up 14 goals in their last four at Spotland and in nine consecutive wins, they’ve netted 23 times."

Lay Under 3.5 goals in Rochdale v Shrewsbury @ 1.454/9

Rochdale v Shrewsbury
Friday December 30, 19:45 GMT

The hosts are in red-hot form as their 3-0 victory over Chesterfield on Boxing Day was their third straight win and fifth from their last six games. They are now fourth in the table and while there is a seven point gap to Bolton in third, if they carry on the way that they are going, automatic promotion can't be ruled out.

Shrewsbury on the other hand have a battle on to simply stay in the division as they in the relegation zone have picked up just 21 points from their 23 fixtures to date. On the positive side of things, they have won two of their last three though and a 2-1 defeat at Bolton on Boxing Day can be excused.

It's all about the goals for us however and Keith Hill's men are rampant in front of goal, especially in front of their own fans. The Dale have racked up 14 goals in their last four at Spotland and in nine consecutive wins, they've netted 23 times. Today's selection would have landed in three of the last four and they will fancy their chances of putting the Shrews defence to the sword.

Despite their struggles, the visitors are usually good for a goal themselves on the road as they've fired just the two blanks in their 10 most recent outings away from New Meadow. They haven't been getting trounced either, but with Rochdale in such irresistible form at home, I really fear for them tonight.

There's a decent chance that the home side can score all four of the goals themselves, so with under 3.5 trading at around the 1.454/9 mark, I have to make it my lay of the day.
