ROCHDALE go into Saturday's third division game against Cambridge still looking for their first win of the season but buoyed by their midweek Carling Cup performances against Stoke.

After his second half performance as a substitute at the Britannia Stadium, striker Kevin Townson is likely to start in place of Leo Bertos, with on-loan Chris Shuker switching to the wing.

Trialist Robert Betts, also impressive from the bench at Stoke, may get a start in midfield at the expense of Chris Beech who has still not fully recovered from a broken arm.

LAST SEASON: Rochdale 4 Cambridge 3.

KEY OPPONENT: Shane Tudor - rapid winger with an eye for goal.

PREDICTION: Rochdale 2 Cambridge 1.
