MATCH PREVIEW: NOTTS COUNTY VS DOVER

Manager Andy Hessenthaler’s squad heads to Nottingham on Bank Holiday Monday to play Notts County for the second time in less than a week after the high-flying Magpies won 3-0 at Crabble last Tuesday

Monday’s hosts are currently fifth on the National League table after their three-game winning run ended with a 3-1 defeat at Aldershot Town last Saturday.

LAST TIME WE MET

Second-half goals from Ed Francis, Callum Roberts, and Ruben Rodrigues secured Notts a 3-0 at Crabble against 10-man Dover at Crabble last Tuesday.

Defender Myles Judd was sent off for a second bookable offence just three minutes after the break.

The victory lifted Notts up to fifth in the National League table as they closed in on a play-off spot for the third consecutive season.

LEADING SCORER

Kyle Wootton is leading the way with 19 goals in the National League this season while Ruben Rodrigues is two behind him.
