This match features two teams living in the basement of the Vanarama National League North, Leamington holding 17th place and Darlington lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It's no vacation for neither Leamington nor Darlington as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Leamington form and stats
When playing at home in the Vanarama National League North, Leamington have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games.
The points were shared in Leamington's previous game, also at home. Visiting Guiseley (placed 9th) travelled back with a point after a 2-2 scoreline. Previous to that game, a Fa Trophy home match hosting Spennymoor Town in a game that was won 2-1.
A case of two points dropped for Leamington in the Guiseley match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
This is expected to be a close game, with Leamington perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leamington as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Leamington has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 7.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Leamington as they have a new game in only four days, a Vanarama National League North match thankfully also at home. Spennymoor Town are visiting.
Leamington has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Leamington's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Darlington form and stats
Darlington have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Vanarama National League North, after 1-1-5 (7 played).
Darlington failed to get anything from their last game, a Vanarama National League North home match vs AFC Telford United (placed 14th) that ended with defeat 2-3. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Gainsborough Trinity in the Fa Trophy.
A huge disappointment for Darlington in their last match (vs AFC Telford United). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 2-3 defeat.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Darlington in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Darlington, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
After this away game Darlington return home for a Vanarama National League North game against Chester. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Darlington are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). The Darlington manager A. Armstrong has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
