We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Darlington form and stats
Darlington have played three Vanarama National League North home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With Darlington having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager A. Armstrong.
The spoils were shared in Darlington's previous game, also at home. Visiting AFC Telford United (after extra-time, 5-3 on penalties) (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 2-2 scoreline. Before that, Darlington had a home game versus City of Liverpool which ended with a victory 2-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Darlington as they have a new game in only two days, a Vanarama National League North match thankfully also at home. Blyth Spartans are visiting.
Darlington aren't scoring a lot here at Blackwell Meadows in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Darlington are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Spennymoor Town form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Vanarama National League North.
There were no winners in Spennymoor's previous match, a Fa Trophy home game that ended 2-2 vs Southport (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) (placed 13th). Before that, Spennymoor Town secured a home win against Marske United with the score 6-2.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only two days as another away game awaits: The Vanarama National League North trip to Gateshead.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Spennymoor as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
