Radcliffe v Darlington preview

Can Quakers build on the Scunthorpe draw

Darlington are looking to build on their last two results when they go to Radcliffe on Saturday. 

Quakers have beaten Buxton 1-0 in the Trophy and drawn 0-0 with Scunthorpe in the league in their last two matches, and they're hoping for at least a repeat at Stainton Park on Saturday. They've lost only once in their last seven.

Radcliffe, however, are unbeaten in their last five league and Trophy matches
