There are only three ties in Round 9 of Betfred League One this weekend, and here is a quick look at what to expect!
There’s a cracking contest on the cards as Rochdale take on Midlands. Only a single point separates these two sides in the league standings – meaning it’s a crucial two points at stake.
The Hornets have won their last nine meetings with the Hurricanes (formerly Coventry Bears), but both sides have won four games apiece in 2025...
Then, 7th and 8th in the table will clash, and it’s a first meeting between Whitehaven and Goole on Sunday.
Finally, Keighley Cougars are in action against Workington at Cougar Park.
The Cougars are without a win in their first six matches and will be desperate to bank their first two points of the 2025 campaign.
Third place Workington enjoyed an emphatic 62-0 win against Newcastle in the previous round, so it could be a tough challenge for the Cougars this Sunday.
However, it is the hosts who have won their last two meetings – and by convincing margins too. Last time out at Cougar Park, Keighley sealed a very strong 58-16 win.
What will occur in Round 9?
