This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Lincoln City and Darlington at 15:00 on Saturday, 5th September 2009 in the League Two.
|
Darlington face a trip to Lincoln City at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Quakers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 10 of the 55 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2009, with Darlington inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Red Imps in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Lincoln City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Red Imps have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.
Darlington's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Quakers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.
Lincoln City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 6 points from their 5 matches. Darlington find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 5 games have yielded only 1 points.
