It's still early in the National League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Dover Athletic - Aldershot Town preview!

The hosts Dover saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the National League. That game was an away game at Stockport County, so at least Dover are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Dover Athletic form and stats

Dover Athletic have only played one National League game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats from 20 matches.

Dover are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Stockport County. Prior to that, an away loss at Bromley.

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 have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost one.

The manager A. Hessenthaler will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Torquay United in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Dover Athletic's 1 home game: 1 goal, 0 conceded.

Aldershot Town form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the National League ended in defeat. Last season Aldershot Town had these away match statistics: Played 20; won 5, drew 4 and lost 11.

The manager D. Searle was unhappy after their last game, a National League match played at their home ground Electrical Services Stadium. Aldershot suffered a 1-2 loss to Sutton United (placed 2nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hartlepool United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Aldershot Town in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Aldershot, one draw and two defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Aldershot manager D. Searle as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Eastleigh.

It's early days yet, but Aldershot Town has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Dover victories, one draw and five Aldershot Town wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
