Prediction York City vs Rochdale 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Enterprise National League on 11/11/2025

Match overview

York City welcome Rochdale to Dwight Yorke Stadium on 11/11/2025 in what promises to be one of the more intriguing fixtures of Round 7 in the Enterprise National League. The hosts arrive buoyant after a 4-2 victory at Eastleigh and a dominant 4-0 home display against Gateshead just days earlier; their season numbers underline an attacking side that has found the net regularly, compiling 39 goals in 17 outings. Rochdale, sitting higher in the table in third, bring a compact and efficient profile — 12 wins in 15 matches and just eight goals conceded all season speaks to a team that knows how to grind out results and defend intelligently on the road.

Both teams have recent momentum: York City have strung together a series of positive results to climb into the top third, while Rochdale’s run of wins, including a convincing 3-1 victory at Boston United, shows a side hitting form at the right time. The FA Cup meeting earlier this season saw York triumph 2-1 at Rochdale, adding a layer of spice to this league encounter. Expect a lively contest where York’s attacking verve collides with Rochdale’s organised backline.

Key stats and trends

Numbers tell a story worth watching. York City’s home record shows they are capable of producing goals in bunches — their over 2.5 goals percentage sits near 65% and recent fixtures have featured multiple high-scoring affairs. They average over 17 shots per game and have seen dangerous attacking patterns translate into real opportunities. Rochdale counter with an impressive defensive ledger and nine clean sheets already this season; they concede very little, and on their day can be ruthlessly efficient up front, as recent 3-0 and 1-3 results demonstrate.

Form lines suggest both teams know how to win: Rochdale’s latest run boasts seven wins in the last ten reported outcomes, while York City have been more volatile but capable of explosive attacking performances. The meeting at Dwight Yorke will likely be decided by small margins — set pieces, transitional breaks and form players who shone in the last round such as Ollie Pearce for York City and Emmanuel Dieseruvwe for Rochdale.

Prediction & betting suggestion

This fixture balances attacking promise with defensive resilience, which tilts the betting market towards goals rather than a one-sided outcome. Given York City’s propensity for high-scoring matches at home and Rochdale’s recent games producing multiple-goal scorelines, the clearest value here is in the goal market. For those structuring a stake, the recommendation is to back Over 2.5 goals — this selection aligns with both teams’ recent scoring records and the head-to-head dynamics observed earlier in the season.
