REALLY like the look of this match on Wednesday night.
DARLINGTON v BLYTH SPARTANS (7.45pm)
Serious NE derby here and the rain-sodden carpark’s whippet holding cages have been sold out since May.
Darlo were my lower league darlings in 2016-2017 but the last campaign was a mixed affair – they’ve started this one with a bang mind and their opponents will be heading down to Blackwell Meadows with their roll-ups clenched firmly in their mouths after annihilating Chester 8-1 in their last game.
Both sides have seen at least 3 goals in each of their last 4 matches with the same AND btts in 10 of their last collective 12.
H2H's have hardly been turgid affairs either; 5 of the last 6 have seen 3+ match goals with 50% seeing ‘btts and overs’ get the green light – with Blyth in the ascendancy in recent seasons, I can see them blotting Darlo’s books in what could be a cracker in County Durham.
Three selections to consider:
- Darlington over 1.5 team goals (4-5, bet365)
- Btts and over 2.5 goals (4-5, bet365)
- Btts first half (11-4, bet365)

Great Valur tip yesterday..wish I had more points on it. Will be on Darlington game for sure!
Cheers pal – was chuffed to bits with that…hopefully goals-galore in the NE ⚽️⚽️
Darlo have signed a lot of godd players who are playing well together good investment in the club hope they get back in the Football League shortly.
Great tip on Valur by the way
@jstuhhs – afternoon pal – great to see and always had a soft spot for Darlo – flatmate years ago was from Skerne Park so adopted them as my NE favourites!
Hullshaker– yes Ive supported the Quakers since they were in the old Third Division back in the mid 60’s as a young boy.
As I got older I switched allegiance to teh mighty Middlesbrough and been there ever since.
Best of luck with Darlo and Boro ?
What stakes you advising Hull mate?
Alright there Matt – hope all well.
In my initial main post write up on main thread I used a ‘3 Star’ value for confidence for the first 2 picks and a ‘1 star’.
Best of luck
Topman. I’m good. Your fine self?
All good pal ?
Cheers Hull.
Stuck a tenner on the btts first half. Looks good odds. 9/1 for btts both halves which looks good but as I know sod all about these teams I will swerve that for now
Let’s hope for a few goals!
Good work! Btts first half is in.
I bought it came in on 25mins but Darlington had a disallowed goal.
Here’s hoping they get one more to get you a full house.
England and all their leagues are just over hyped can we stay off them this season so we could win. Was on ov1.5tgls for dal.
So was I but spartans were well up for it nothing wrong with Hulls reasoning
Cheers @alfsgag sir – genuinely unlucky with this one and not sure what tipseeboner is smoking but Darlo had 2 goals ruled, hit the post and hit the crossbar.
Also assume he wssn’t on the btts 1st half at 11/4 ?
