Bitesize Prediction: Dartford vs Slough – 05/09/23

Competition: National League South

Market: Dartford win

Odds: 3/5 @ BetUS

Looking to make an immediate return to winning ways on Tuesday night, Dartford will welcome Slough to Princes Park for a National League South Showdown.

Starting with the hosts, while Dartford might have put in a rugged performance away at Taunton over the weekend, Alan Dowson’s men would have been disappointed to have been on the wrong end of a 1-0 loss. Nevertheless, securing an eye-catching silver medal finish last season, the Kent-based outfit still have their sights set on mounting another promotion charge this time around. Despite watching their four-match unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last time out, the Darts will be smelling the chance to claim an immediate boost here. Signing off August with a deserved 2-0 victory at home against Dover, Dartford will also be excited to make a return to home soil in midweek. Shipping just a single strike in any of their previous three straight National League South showdowns, Dowson’s side will also be excited by an eye-catching record against Tuesday’s guests. In fact, including a 1-0 win when the two sides last met back on February 21st, they have won each of their last four meetings by an aggregate score of 12-1.

As for the visitors, while Slough might have claimed a much-needed 3-0 victory against Weston-super-Mare last month, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for Scott Davies’ men. Last seen over the weekend putting in another nightmare display as they slumped to a 5-2 drumming at home against Tonbridge, some around Arbour Park will be fearing that their side are destined for another relegation scrap this time around. In fact, along with signing off August with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Chippenham, it should be noted that the midweek guests have lost five of their previous six contests continuing on from their pre-season preparations. Likewise, losing each of their last four meetings against the promotion hopefuls by an aggregate score of 12-1, it should also be highlighted that Slough have failed to muster a single victory against Dartford across any competition since way back in October 2020.
