Notts County vs Dover Predictions

• Only two sides saw higher total goals per home match averages than Notts County’s 3.3.
• Dover’s away games average a league-high four goals per-match.
• Dover have conceded a league-high 96 goals.

A game to experiment for Notts County

With the play-offs all but assured with just a few games to go, Notts County can relax somewhat as they welcome an already-relegated rock-bottom Dover Athletic to Meadow Lane.

Games at this venue have been entertaining affairs throughout the campaign, only Solihull Moors (45) scored more than Notts’ 43 home league goals this season and that has contributed to almost half of their games here producing at least four match goals (8/20).

Pointless Dover looking to avoid a century

Currently on 96 conceded goals, Dover Athletic look like they will surpass the unwanted 100 goals conceded mark with three games left to play. The reverse fixture which was played just last week provides some clues to that, as Notts won by a handy 3-0 scoreline on Dover’s own patch.

Given the aboslute gulf in class between play-off chasing Notts and pointless Dover, we predict that this game will produce over 3.5 total goals.

As for the correct score, we are siding with Notts to score the 100th league goal past Dover this season with a nice and easy 4-1 victory.
