Dover Athletic form and stats

2 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Dover Athletic, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in National League, have to build on here at The Perrys Crabble Stadium in the National League. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Dover to get some points in this home game. The Dover manager A. Hessenthaler might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

A National League defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at King's Lynn Town.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Dover, as the National League home game vs Dagenham & Redbridge is only four days away.

The Dover fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. As for conceded goals, Dover Athletic's unpleasant statistic is 13 goals surrendered.

Chesterfield form and stats

3-0-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Chesterfield in their National League matches away. Chesterfield love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Chesterfield goalkeeper Kyle Letheren is eager to challenge this, with his 320 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Before that, Chesterfield secured a home win against Barnet with the score 6-0.

The schedule is very tough for Chesterfield now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Solihull Moors is waiting in only four days.

Chesterfield are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. In the opposite end, Chesterfield have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
