Recent respective form guides

Cheltenham Town have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A generous 12 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

The away form of Darlington is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Quakers have hit 6 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
