Yeovil Town form and stats

Last season, Yeovil's FA Cup journey ended in the 1st round.

Yeovil Town are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Vanarama National League games here at Huish Park Stadium.

Yeovil manager D. Sarll and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Dagenham & Redbridge in the Vanarama National League. Before that, Yeovil played out a Vanarama National League draw 1-1 when visiting Halifax Town.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Yeovil's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn one and lost one.

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

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Yeovil Town at home in the league. 2 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Dover Athletic form and stats

They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round.

It's not happening yet for Dover Athletic on their Vanarama National League travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? A depressing five defeats in a row for Dover Athletic in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Stockport County. With the Dover losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Dover aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 301 league minutes without a goal. S. Wood was the last player to find the net.

Dover Athletic lost away at Torquay United (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-5 home loss versus Aldershot Town.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dover Athletic playing away, we found three games. Results were three away wins, zero draws and zero home wins.

After this away game Dover return home for a Vanarama National League game against Eastleigh. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Dover are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Dover can't defend away. 9 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Yeovil victory, zero draws and one Dover Athletic win. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
