Darlington have played three Vanarama National League North home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Darlington lost their last game at Buxton (placed 10th) after a 0-5 scoreline. The first defeat after collecting points in three league games. Darlington were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus South Shields.Darlington are traveling soon after this match as the Vanarama National League North match at Bishop's Stortford awaits in four days.
The Darlington fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. When Darlington hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Hereford, Banbury United, King's Lynn Town, Rushall Olympic, Southport, Gloucester City and Peterborough Sports), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
