Match Preview by Fred Deveson.

It’s back-to-back home games for Dover Athletic who will be looking to put an end to Slough’s excellent recent form, and hopefully move themselves off the bottom of the league.

The Whites are coming off the back of a negative result on Tuesday night as they lost to rivals Tonbridge Angels in a disappointing game, but the team will be looking to make it right this weekend.

The visitors’ record has been superb of late, winning five of the last ten and losing just twice on this run, both of which away from home.

They recently got an impressive away draw at high-flying Worthing despite getting a red card in the game, which shows just how high their confidence is right now.

Scoring has also not been a problem for Slough, as they have only failed to score in one of their last 16 league games, whereasfor Dover scoring has been an issue, with the hosts for Saturday only scoring twice in their last four games.

The Whites’ have not been at the level seen around Christmas in the last five games, only getting one point out of a possible 12 this year.

The pitch may have a part to play this weekend, as it has only recently been played on, and wet weather could affect the movement of the ball, and could also be an advantage to either team who may exploit the wings with wet surface allowing the ball to move quicker, and making life harder for the full backs who could easily lose their footing without the ball.

Nevertheless, it is certain to be a good game and one not to miss as Dover look to get themselves off the foot of the table.

Ahead of this game Manager Jake Leberl has said:

Mike and I were somewhat disappointed with Tuesday’s performance particularly in the first half. We are looking to rectifying  our mistakes from that night and do better to create more chances in the opposition half. We continue to reinforce and instil a positive ethos as a group and the team have got to keep working and keep going as we believe they will.
