Darlo come into this one after a 1-1 draw against South Shields at Blackwell Meadows, where Jack Maskell’s cool finish wasn’t enough for all three points. They can now finish the season no better than tenth.

Away from home, The Quakers have had a mixed bag of results and find themselves 11^th on away form with seven wins and six draws in 22 games with 24 goals scored and 28 goals conceded.

Scarborough find themselves 13^th in the league with 57 points gained this season after 44 games.

The Seadogs at home this season have been all right with nine wins and five draws in 22 games, with 33 goals scored and 26 goals conceded.

The first meeting this season between the two clubs was a memorable goal fest on a very foggy Boxing Day with The Quakers coming out 4-3 winners thanks to goals from Will Hatfield, Caden Kelly (2) and Toby Lees.
