Dover will be aiming to put last weekend’s miserable trip to Fylde behind them when they host the Spitfires on Saturday afternoon.
A Danny Rowe double set the Coasters on their way to a 4-0 win and condemn Chris Kinnear’s men to their heaviest defeat since a 5-0 loss at Boreham Wood in March last year.
And Eastleigh will also be wanting to bounce back following disappointment last week.
The Hampshire side lost 3-1 at home to Wrexham in their last match and sit two points and four points above Athletic in 15th spot on the ladder.
Home fans might also recognise a couple of familiar face in the Eastleigh squad.
Goalkeeper Ross Flitney played 55 times for Dover over a two year period, while Blues boss Andy Hessenthaler managed Whites over three season, taking them from the Ryan South up to the National South.
WHAT THE GAFFERS SAY
DOVER BOSS CHRIS KINNEAR
’Nobody is panicking yet and Fylde was always going to be a tough game. Eastleigh will also be a difficult test as they have a lot of players with league experience, so it’s down to our lads to show people how good they can be.’
EASTLEIGH BOSS ANDY HESSENTHALER
‘It was our poor defending that cost us on Saturday and we made it easy for Wrexham. We’ve had a free week to make sure we get it right against Dover on Saturday.’
EASTLEIGH PLAYER TO WATCH
Mark Yeates is often at the heart of Eastleigh’s attacking play. The 31 year-old Irishman has played over 450 football league games, featuring for the likes of Colchester, Sheffield United and Watford.
TOP SCORERS
Both Jamie Allen and Paul McCallum lead the way for their respective sides with three goals each this campaign.

Jake Leberl speaks to the camera following Whites’ 4-0 loss at Fylde on Saturday.
Athletic will be aiming to secure back-to-back wins following their thrilling 4-3 victory against Havant & Waterlooville in midweek.
And Chris Kinnear’s men will be aiming to do something they have never done before when they make the 330-mile trip to Mill Farm this weekend.
You see, Dover have never beaten their Lancashire opponents, losing their two previous meetings.
Dave Challinor’s side also come into the game unbeaten in four National League matches. Fylde have won two and drawn two of their games so far and four points above Whites in the current standings on eight points.
WHAT THE GAFFERS SAY
DOVER BOSS CHRIS KINNEAR
“Fylde were arguably the best club we faced last season. They have good players and a good manager with great facilities. They go about their business with dignity and are not at all flash with what they have got. It’s not a place you don’t like to go to and hopefully we can get something from the game.”
FYLDE BOSS DAVE CHALLINOR
“We have been good up to now, but we can be so much better. I’m hoping to get one or two in to help pad out the squad and make us a little bit more stirdy, especially against the more physical teams. Set pieces are massively important at this level and Dover will another really tough match, but one we go into full of confidence.”
FYLDE PLAYER TO WATCH
Prolific striker Danny Rowe ended the 2017/18 campaign as joint top scorer in the National League. The 28-year old has already netted three times this season, including the opening goal of the game at home to Solihull Moors on Tuesday night.
TOP SCORERS
Dover’s Jamie Allen and Fylde’s Danny Rowe both lead the way for their respective teams with three goals each so far this season.

Catch up on the best of the action from Tuesday night’s thriller.
Kevin Lokko speaks to the camera after scoring the winning goal in Tuesday’s thrilling 4-3 home win over Havant & Waterlooville.
Boss Chris Kinnear speaks to the camera following Dover’s 4-3 home win against Havant & Waterlooville on Tuesday night.
Whites are back at Crabble on Tuesday night looking to secure their first win of the current National League campaign.
Luke Armstrong’s late winner meant Chris Kinnear’s men have picked up a solitary point from their first three games.
And Dover face a side still also waiting for their victory of the season.
Having secured back-to-back promotions, Lee Bradbury’s Hawks have picked up two points thus far, drawing with both Boreham Wood (0-0) and Fylde (1-1) following an opening day defeat at Barrow (0-3).
HAVANT PLAYER TO WATCH
Nicke Kabamba notched his side’s first goal in the National League on Saturday. The former Portsmouth striker, who scored against Whites’ at Crabble for Aldershot last season, levelled in the home game with Fylde with a stunning 25-yard strike.
WHAT THE GAFFERS SAY
DOVER BOSS CHRIS KINNEAR
”It’s a very important game, but they all are. Havant have gone up twice on the bounce and are used to winning, so our lads must not think they are in for an easy game, because it won’t be.”
HAVANT BOSS LEE BRADBURY
”Dover is always a tough place to go and they are now an experienced side at this level. They are the sort of team we want to replicate, they went up four years ago and are now pushing every year to get in the play-offs if not promotion.”
