Slough Town form and stats

The season before, Slough Town's league statistics were 13 wins, 12 draws and 21 losses, producing 18th position in the BBFA Senior Cup. In these 46 matches they scored {58 goals} and gave away 78. Appearing as the home side in the previous season Slough Town managed 7-6-10 (win-draw-lost) with {34 goals} and 39 conceded.

In their previous game, the manager Davies led his Slough Town to a defeat away at Maidstone United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Arbour Park.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Braintree Town that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Slough Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Slough Town as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Slough Town has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Slough as they have a new game in only three days, a Vanarama National League South match thankfully also at home. Worthing are visiting.

Dover Athletic form and stats

Let's have a look at how Dover Athletic performed last season in the Vanarama National League South: They landed a 20th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 12 draws and 22 defeats. In total they scored 42 and conceded {68 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 6 and lost 12 with 19/35 goals scored/conceded.

There were no winners in Dover Athletic's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Torquay United (placed 13th). An inspired comeback made the scores level in Dover Athletic's duel with Torquay United. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Charles-Cook found the equalizer.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Weymouth.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Dover Athletic in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Dover, 0 draws and 4 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Dover Athletic manager Brundle as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Tonbridge Angels.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Slough Town, one draw and one win for Dover Athletic. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
