Leyton Orient face a trip to Rochdale at Spotland on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The O's will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, with Rochdale running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
An interesting game for the O's to play at the moment, and one from which I believe will see Leyton Orient take away one point. No-score draw
