Match Preview
Dover Athletic will host Gillingham in a pre-season friendly at The Perrys Crabble Stadium on Tuesday, 8 July. The home side has struggled in their recent outings, recording just one win in their last five matches (LLDLW), while Gillingham comes into this fixture in much better form, boasting an unbeaten run with three wins and two draws (WWDDW). This stark contrast in form could play a significant role in the match dynamics, as Gillingham looks to build momentum ahead of the new season. Historically, Gillingham has had the upper hand in their recent encounters, winning four of the last ten meetings, with Dover managing just one victory. Given Dover's defensive vulnerabilities, as evidenced by their recent results, Gillingham’s attacking prowess may lead to a high-scoring affair. Betting markets suggest a likelihood of over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.8, making it a viable option for those looking to capitalise on the form disparity. With both teams eager to fine-tune their strategies, expect an engaging contest.
