It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Vanarama National League South. That game was also an away game, at Taunton 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.

Dover Athletic form and stats

Dover Athletic have collected 27 points from their Vanarama National League South home games so far after 7-6-9. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Dover with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Welling United game, 22 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Ajayi was the last player to score a league goal for Dover Athletic and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Dover Athletic haven't scored in 265 minutes.

The supporters are hoping that Dover Athletic will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the game against Farnborough (placed 11th).

Heartbreak before that as Dover Athletic lost 0-1 at Concord Rangers's place.

Dover are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 23 goals in 22 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Dover Athletic's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 31 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
