PREVIEW: SALFORD V WHITES

Whites travel to Lancashire on Saturday for a first ever visit to the Peninsula Stadium.

Dover boss Andy Hessenthaler will be aiming to get his team back to winning ways after seeing Athletic slip back into the bottom four on goal difference following last Saturday’s last-minute home defeat to Harrogate Town.

It’s now four league games without victory for Dover but Salford are also on their own winless run in the National League.

Draws with Halifax and Gateshead were followed by a surprise loss at bottom-of-the-table Braintree Town last week, which saw Graham Alexander’s men drop to fifth spot in the league table, six points off leaders Solihull Moors, but with a game in hand on the current leaders.
