Match Analysis
Chelmsford City come into this fixture with strong home form and a recent run of high-scoring performances, including a 7-1 home win. Their attack has been prolific recently, averaging 2.8 goals per game in the last 5. Dover, while capable of scoring, have struggled defensively away from home and have only managed one clean sheet in their last five.
