Rochdale to be relegated from the English League Two have shortened from 13/2 to 7/2 with Bet365, with three of 12 bookmakers cutting their odds.
The odds on Rochdale to be relegated from the English League Two have been slashed from 13/2 to 7/2 with Bet365, and after the weekend they have just had, it is hard to argue with the bookies.
Three of 12 bookmakers have cut their odds on Rochdale to be relegated from the English League Two.
QuinnBet still offer the best price at 5/1, and Bet Victor and Betway match it.
Accrington Stanley ran riot at the Crown Oil Arena last weekend, winning 5-0.
Crawley remain the favourites at a best price of 4/6 with William Hill, with Rochdale third-shortest.
That home hammering is what moved this market. Josh Woods put Accrington in front early on after jumping on an error, and Tyler Walton struck on either side of half-time to finish the game off long before the final whistle. Ian Watson didn't dress it up afterwards. He called the display "not acceptable" and admitted his side started "a million miles away". When a manager is that blunt about a performance in front of his own supporters, the traders sit up and take notice.
It wasn't a one-off wobble either. Rochdale had already drawn their previous home outing 2-2 with Grimsby, so the Accrington beating means they have gone two matches without a win and been badly exposed at the back in the heaviest of the two. In PSL terms, this is the kind of week that has supporters nervously checking the log. Bet365 reacted hardest, cutting Rochdale to 7/2, while the rest of the market has been slower to move. That gap is exactly why bigger prices are still around elsewhere.
English League Two Relegation odds
Best odds on Rochdale are 5/1 with QuinnBet, worst 7/2 with Bet365. Bet Victor and Betway match QuinnBet's top price, Betfred sit in between, and Unibet are level with Bet365 at the short end of the market.

Who is favourite to be relegated from the English League Two?
Crawley are the clear favourites at a best price of 4/6 with William Hill, and Betfred go the same. Newport County are second in the betting, with Rochdale third-shortest at 5/1 with QuinnBet and Rotherham completing the leading group. What sets Rochdale apart from the others near the top is that theirs is the price on the move. The Accrington result has dragged them into a conversation they were further away from only a few days ago.
Crawley – 4/6 with William Hill, the shortest price in the market.
Newport County – 9/4 with Bet Victor, second in the betting.
Rochdale – 5/1 with QuinnBet, the selection being backed after the Accrington defeat.
Rotherham – 8/1 with Bet365, rounding off the top four in the betting.
Latest bookmaker offer
How do Rochdale avoid being relegated from the English League Two?
It starts with a trip to Port Vale, Rochdale's next league fixture, and Watson needs a proper reaction on the road. His own words point to the fix. A side that starts a million miles away gets punished, so the first half an hour at Port Vale matters more than any team talk. A home game against Doncaster in the Papa John's Trophy comes next, but the league is where this price gets settled. Our view is that the bookies are right to cut Rochdale on the evidence of last weekend, though Crawley are still clear at the top of the betting. The best available price is 5/1 with QuinnBet.
