Insights:
  • Dartford have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.

7-10-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Slough Town when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 29 matches are 33-54 (scored/conceded).

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
