Recent respective form guides

Darlington's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. The Quakers have conceded a disappointing 12 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Dag. & Red.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Daggers have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Darlington find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 45 games have yielded only 30 points. Dag. & Red.'s total of 69 points from their 45 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.
