Preceding that match was the home game against Bromley that was lost 0-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dover Athletic have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

Aldershot Town form and stats

As the visiting team in National League matches, Aldershot Town have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far.

Aldershot Town might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Halifax Town proved too strong as Aldershot Town slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Electrical Services Stadium.

A 2-2 draw at Wealdstone's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Aldershot playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Aldershot Town wins, one draw and four defeats.
