Darlington form and stats

It's not happening yet for Darlington on their Vanarama National League North travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?

There were no winners in Darlington's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Brackley Town (placed 7th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Scunthorpe United wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Darlington when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 5 matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.

A quick return to home after this game, as Darlington are hosting South Shields in the Vanarama National League North only two days away.

It's early days yet, but Darlington has scored 0 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Darlington have managed a sequence of 4 consecutive matches without losing (2-2-0) when playing Alfreton.
