The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Dover Athletic have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Tonbridge Angels game.

There might be some fixture complaints from Dover as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the National League match against Wealdstone (1-2).

Prior to that match, the Dover Athletic manager Hessenthaler faced defeat when travelling to Dagenham & Redbridge and losing 1-3.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Dover Athletic played away with similar odds. This revealed six games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected five times.

A quick return to home after this game, as Dover Athletic are hosting Eastleigh in the National League only three days away.
