Dover Athletic form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dover Athletic so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-5 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Dover, who have now gone 16 games without a victory. The Fylde game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Dover Athletic, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus Southend United (placed 20th).

A loss against Stockport County was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dover playing away, we found six games. Results were three away wins, zero draws and three home wins.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Dover defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 20 goals in their away games.
