Darlington desperately need points on Tuesday, Nov 24 at 8:45 PM in the National League – North. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Darlington come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4). Southport, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Darlington head into this on the back of a defeat, while Southport arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

History strongly favours Darlington here — they've won 5 of 10 previous meetings against Southport, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Darlington a slight edge, but Southport are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
