Darlington Team News
Darlington was in League Two until 2010 and they had tough times and financial problems and manage to be relegated from 4th to 7th tier in only five years. They returned back to National League North (6th tier) in 2016 and in most of the seasons, they were in the top half of the table.
Last season Darlington was in the middle of the table but they have built strong teams this season and they were one of the favourites for the promotion.
They started a season very well and most of the time they are in the top 7 in the table. Recently, they were in 3rd place but a drop in form led to slipping on the table and Darlington is now 6th with 57 points and 16 wins after 34 games.
Twelve games to go they are 10 points from the King’s Lynn and AFC Fylde and it will be very tough for them to catch first place. But they can finish in 3rd and teams in 2nd and 3rd place goes straight into the playoff semi-final. Darlington is five points behind Chester who is 3rd, with a game in hand.
Darlington is five games without a win and they have three consecutive draws. Since the start of January, they have had three wins in 10 games. They have only two clean sheets from the last 10 games and failed to score in three of them.
Darlington is a good attacking side and with 61 goals scored they have the third-best attack in the league. Jacob Hazel is the league’s top scorer with 17, Mark Beck has 15, and Jack Lambert has 12. The problem is that Mark Beck leaves the club in January, but Hazel steps in and scored 10 goals since Boxing Day.
Darlington failed to score in only five games this season and in only two since October. At home, they are five games without a defeat.

Curzon is on the run of three consecutive defeats in the league and their form is very mixed since the start of the year. They have had five wins and five defeats in the last 10 games. They were 18th, then manage to win four consecutive games and made a progress to 8th place, but now they have three defeats in a row and slipped to 16th position.
They have two clean sheets in the last 16 games but also failed to score in only three of the last 14.
In 17 away games they manage to lose eight of them and since October they have had two wins only away from home and one clean sheet in the last nine games.

Darlington vs Curzon Ashton Prediction
Three points in this game are much needed for Darlington. They must stop the bad run of results because they will be in a problem to keep a place in the top 7. They have a very acceptable schedule in the next few weeks and they must take advantage of it and win some points, starting with this game.
Curzon is a very unpredictable team this season. Their form is hot and cold but they are a mid-table club in terms of quality. They are in the middle of very tough games and they have three consecutive games against clubs from the top 7. Probably that run doesn’t come at the right time.
We think that Darlington can win tonight.
