Darlington are marginal favorites based on recent league positions and market odds — typical moneyline odds available this week show Darlington around 2.05 and Scarborough Athletic ~3.40, reflecting Darlington’s higher league standing and slightly better form in December; DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.

The match kicks off on 26 December 2025 at 12:30 PM UTC (12:30 PM GMT), which is 12:30 local UK time for Scarborough (no timezone offset change for late December).

The game will be played at Flamingo Land Stadium, Scarborough — a compact National League North venue with a seated capacity around 2,070 and a mix of covered stands and terracing, known for a close atmosphere that benefits Scarborough’s pressing style.

My prediction: Darlington win or draw (Double Chance) with an implied combined odds ~1.45 based on current moneyline pricing; Scarborough are dangerous at home so a 1-1 or 2-1 Darlington result is the most likely scoreline after weighing both teams’ December form and home/away records.

In competitive meetings this season the two clubs are closely matched — Darlington edge recent H2H with 2 wins to Scarborough’s 1 in their last 5 clashes, and an average goals-per-game of ~2.1 across those fixtures, indicating often tight, low-margin results.
