History of the Darlington v Wrexham fixture

Wrexham face a trip to 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 44 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Two 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 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Wrexham is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Dragons have hit 5 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Darlington see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 37 points from their 28 games played so far, Wrexham are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 29 points from 27 matches.
