Peterborough sports 🆚 Darlington

📅 Saturday, March 15^th, 3pm

🏟️ Lincoln Road

🔥 Match Preview

Darlo look for their first ever win at Lincoln Road as they travel away to Peterborough Sports.

The Quakers will want to keep up their winning form after a last-minute winner by Jack Maskell in midweek against Radcliffe.

Peterborough come into the game after a loss at home to South Shields, which will be good news for Darlo as they hope to get the win away from home.

The Turbines find themselves 16^th in home form with seven wins and four draws in their 19 home games this season. Scoring wise they find themselves 4^th lowest with 20 goals scored but defensively they have been better with 19 goals conceded which is 11^th best in the league at home.

The Quakers, away from home, have improved later in the season, with five of their six wins coming in the last ten away games. Darlo will go into the game in good away form after beating Hereford 2-0 last Saturday thanks to two Matty Cornish goals, which put an end to Hereford’s six-game unbeaten streak.
