Recent respective form guides

Darlington could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While The Quakers have scored 6, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Accrington S.'s away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Reds have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Darlington find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 38 games have yielded only 22 points. Accrington S. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 53 points from their 39 games played so far,
