With the volatile opening fixture done it’s time for the second Vanarama National League North clash of the season. Hereford are ready to confront Darlington in front of their home following.

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!

Hereford form and stats

Last season, Hereford's league results were 15 wins, 10 draws and 21 losses, producing 16th position in the Vanarama National League North. In these 46 matches they scored {47 goals} and gave away 56. Playing as the home team in the former season Hereford delivered 7-8-8 (win-draw-lost) with {26 goals} and 23 conceded.

Hereford travelled for their previous game, a trip to King's Lynn Town that ended 2-2. Cowley has scored in three games in a row. Skilful!

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Blyth Spartans (0-5).

This is expected to be a close game, with Hereford perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hereford as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Hereford has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 4.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Hereford, as the Vanarama National League North home game vs Rushall Olympic is only three days away.

Darlington form and stats

Let's have a look at how Darlington performed last season in the Vanarama National League North: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 18 victories, 13 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 72 and conceded {64 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 6 and lost 8 with 36/32 goals scored/conceded.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Curzon Ashton with 1-3 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus King's Lynn Town.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Darlington in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Darlington, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Darlington now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League North game at Scunthorpe United is waiting in only three days.

Darlington have won or drawn the last 6 matches (3-3-0) facing Hereford.
