Athletic host their first match on Good Friday since confirming their National League status for next season.

Having trailed by two goals at Barrow last weekend, three goals in the final 17 minutes saw Athletic complete a dramatic turnaround to guarantee a finish above the bottom four on the league ladder.

The visiting Shots were unable to halt their own slide towards the National South and their relegation was confirmed after a 1-1 home draw with Hartlepool last Saturday.

And Dover will likely take note of the Shots’ away record this season.

Gary Waddock’s side have won three times on the road in the league, with their only victory in 2019 coming at Boreham Wood last month (2-0).

PLEASE NOTE THE MATCH WILL BE SEGREGATED

National League safety could be secured for Whites this Saturday when they make the 734-mile round trip to the Furness Building Society Stadium.

Should Athletic match Aldershot’s result at home to Hartlepool and better Havant’s result at Solihull on the same day, Andy Hessenthaler’s men will guarantee their National League status for next season.

After avoiding the drop on the last day of the 2017/18 campaign, in spite of a home defeat to already relegated Chester, Ian Evatt’s Barrow have had a much stronger campaign this time around and sit 11th on the league ladder.

However, Athletic might be encouraged by the current home form of this weekend’s hosts, with the Bluebirds’ registering one win so far this year – a 2-1 win over Aldershot last month with John Rooney netting the winner from the penalty spot deep into injury time.

Three Dover players will be familiar with their surroundings when both sides take to the turf on Saturday afternoon.

Midfielder Bedsente Gomis featured 43 times for Barrow last season, striker Inih Effiong made seven appearances in 2017 and forward Jamie Allen played 17 times on loan during the 2013/14 season.
