History of the Darlington v Wrexham fixture

Wrexham pack their bags to visit Darlington at 96.6 TFM Darlington Arena on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dragons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 24 and win only 6 of the 43 games.

The previous match played between the two at 96.6 TFM Darlington Arena was more than three years back, in September 2002, with Wrexham inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Quakers in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Darlington's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Quakers have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Wrexham's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Dragons have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Darlington lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola League Two, picking up 62 points from their 45 games so far. Wrexham's 58 points from 45 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
