Dover will be aiming to halt their current drawing sequence when they host Gary Waddock’s team on Saturday.

Boss Chris Kinnear has seen his side’s last four matches end all-square, though will be heartened his team are unbeaten in seven games.

Visitors Town will be pleased with their Christmas and New Year efforts, having taken eight points from a possible 12.

And the Hampshire side will arrive at Crabble in confident mood having not tasted defeat in their last five league outings.

One Dover player will know the opposition well when both sides take to the turf at the weekend.

Midfielder Liam Bellamy played 14 times for the Shots last season, scoring twice.

ALDERSHOT’S RECENT FORM

WOKING 1-2 ALDERSHOT

Scott Rendell nabbed a last-minute winner as Aldershot moved into second in the standings with a New Year win.

Defender Will Evans had a header disallowed for offside early in the first half, but the visitors were ahead soon after as James Rowe crossed for Rendell to nod his team in front.

Kane Ferdinand levelled after the break, steering home Jason Banton’s accurate ball into the box.

But Rendell grabbed the three points in injury time, slotting in after Jake Gallagher’s dummy fooled the home backline.

PREVIOUS MEETING

09/09/17:  ALDERSHOT 0-2 DOVER

Dover rose into first place on the National League ladder with a 2-0 win at Aldershot on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

A header from Giancarlo Gallifuoco and a wonderful solo goal from substitute Kadell Daniel saw Athletic win at the EBB Stadium for the first time.

The match’s first effort on target came via Manny Parry for the visitors, but his header from Gallifuoco’s cross lacked the power needed to beat Jake Cole.

But Dover did beat the home keeper in the 35th minute.

A short corner from Mitch Brundle found Nortei Nortey and the midfielder’s floated ball into the area was powered home by Australian Gallifuoco.

Mitch Walker produced a stunning save to prevent James Rowe from finding the top corner and that save proved crucial as the visitors doubled their lead on 65 minutes.

Daniel, who had entered the fray four minutes earlier, picked the ball up on the half-way line and ran towards the box before firing a low left-footed effort across Cole and into the net.

The winger then stung the palms of the home stopper with a fierce angled drive.

Sub Fabien Robert was found in space by a smart threaded pass, but Walker was out quickly to block his effort.

The visiting stopper also caught Matt McClure’s late effort as Whites held on to record back-to-back victories.
