Bitesize Prediction: Dover vs Taunton – 1/10/23

Competition: National League South

Market: Double Chance of Taunton

Rating: 4/7 @

Hoping to extend their recent purple spot on Tuesday night, Taunton will make the trip to Kent midweek when they meet Dover.

Starting with the hosts, who lost their National League status last season after a nightmarish campaign in Kent, Dover once again find themselves at the heart of another public fight. Opening 2023 with back-to-back defeats to Hungerford and Dulwich Hamlet, some around the Crabble Athletic Ground could be looking over their shoulder at another potential relegation. Although Los Blancos may have impressed with their October flurry, there's no doubt the midweek hosts have really come down to earth. Picking up just a pair of points in one of their last five sixth-tier clashes, it's also worth pointing out that Dover have picked up just one win from any of their previous 10 appearances in all formats. With this race stretching back to October 29, the Kent-based team could face a tough test here.

When it comes to the visitors, while Taunton could also struggle in the bottom half of the National League South table, Rob Dray's side enjoy a real purple spot. Last seen signing off 2022 with a landslide 3-1 win at Weymouth, the Peacocks should feel the chance to lay down another marker here. Likewise, extending their EFL Trophy adventure last month with a 1-0 win at Slough, the Somerset-based side are unbeaten in each of their last six appearances in all competitions – a run dating back to November 5. . . Knowing another midweek win would see them struggling hosts on Tuesday and picking up back-to-back wins away from Wordsworth Drive, an away double chance can be found at attractive odds.

Bet: Taunton double chance vs Dover 4/7 for Tuesday's game in National League South @
