Torquay United form and stats
As mentioned below, Torquay United are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 National League games.
A nice win for Torquay last time playing, versus Chesterfield. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with A. Hall scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Bromley.
Some amazing scenes last match, when A. Hall scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Torquay United at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Dover Athletic form and stats
No National League points yet away for Dover Athletic, from their first 2 matches. Three has not been a lucky number for Dover as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Notts County match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Dover have lost on their last two travels.
The attacking players of Dover Athletic have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 211 minutes.
Home advantage was not enough for Dover Athletic in their previous game, as they lost their National League-match, hosting Aldershot Town, 0-5. Prior to that match, the Dover manager A. Hessenthaler faced defeat when travelling to Stockport County and losing 0-3.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Aldershot Town was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Dover Athletic has managed 1 goal and let in 7 from 2 matches.
