Season ticket holders at The Perrys Crabble Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Dover Athletic languishing in the 23rd position so far. The guesting Solihull Moors will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Dover Athletic has the fewest scored goals (8) in National League
  • Solihull Moors have scored more than double the goals of Dover Athletic.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Fa Trophy game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Aldershot Town. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
