Dover Athletic form and stats

With 2 National League wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Dover Athletic, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in National League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Dover crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Solihull Moors here at The Perrys Crabble Stadium in a National League match. Prior to that, an away loss at Wrexham.

This is expected to be a close game, with Dover Athletic perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dover Athletic as a small favourite), we find nine games. Dover Athletic has won five of these, drawn three and lost one.

There will be little rest for Dover Athletic after this match as they are travelling to Yeovil Town for a National League game in only four days.

Dover aren't scoring a lot here at The Perrys Crabble Stadium in the league, with only 6 goals from 8 games. Dover are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (17 from 8 played).

Barnet form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Barnet, who have the the worst goal difference (-25) in National League, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Barnet are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Weymouth fixture. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Barnet are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a National League home defeat versus Altrincham with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-3 loss hosting Boreham Wood before that.

Late heartbreak for Barnet in the Altrincham match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Barnet in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Barnet, four draws and five defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Barnet are hosting Torquay United in the National League only four days away.

Barnet have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. The Barnet defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 20 goals in their away games. It's worth mentioning that 15 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last five meetings between the teams: Dover won one, Barnet won three and one draw. three games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
