LV BET Preview: The Matchday 21 Stat Pack
Each gameweek, The National League's official betting partner LV BET provides the lowdown of the key matches across the Vanarama National League. Find out all you need to know ahead of Matchday 21.
Yeovil Town vs. Dover Athletic
It’s the turn of Yeovil Town’s title challenge to fall under the gaze of the BT Sport cameras this weekend.
The Glovers weren’t predicted to put up a serious fight for an instant return to League Two after a difficult summer, but they have surprised many by staying in touch.
Darren Sarll has done a great job and his side are just a point off top spot as we edge towards the halfway point in the season.
But on Saturday night they take on a Dover Athletic side with their tails up.
Sunday’s FA Cup victory over League One Southend United gave the Whites a big lift - and manager Andy Hessenthaler wants another live TV performance from his players at Huish Park.
Yeovil will be desperate to put things right after themselves crashing out 4-1 at home to Hartlepool in midweek and their fans will expect a response.
