Cambridge United vs Dover Athletic Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Preview

Dover have been in good form this season and they will know that if they can shut out their opposition then they will stand an extremely good chance of progressing to the second round, we are backing them on the double chance to either win or draw at 5/6 with bet365. For our correct score tip we think this one might go to a replay and are going to back a 1-1 draw at 11/2 with the same site.

The form of Ricky Miller will be a huge factor in Dover’s chances of progression in this tie, the striker has scored 15 goals in his last 16 appearances and is available at an attractive 6/5 with bet365 to score again anytime. The 27-year-old has been attracting attention of many Football League clubs and he couldn’t be in better form as he has eight goals in his last five appearances.

Cambridge have built a fragile confidence in recent weeks after a disastrous start to the season but they will still be concerned by their lack of form in front of goal. Although things have improved in recent weeks with eight in their last eight they still have the worst scoring record in League Two.

The conflict comes when we consider the styles of these sides, Cambridge have had success when they have kept it tight and they tend to win by a single goal but when Dover have played they have either won or lost by several. We are backing the more positive away side to use the magic of the cup and come away with at least a replay when the sides face off on Saturday.
