Woking form and stats

With 3 National League wins, 0 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Woking are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Woking in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Altrincham game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Woking manager Dowson and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Aldershot Town (placed 17th) in the National League.

Prior to that, an away loss at Yeovil Town in the Fa Trophy.

Woking has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Woking defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Dover Athletic only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Dover, who have now gone 23 games without a victory.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Bromley.
