Yeovil Town return to National League action on Saturday (5:20pm) to face Dover Athletic, live on BT Sport.

After falling out of the FA Cup on Tuesday night against Hartlepool, Saturday’s clash gives the Glovers a chance reset their focus on league action. 

The visitors come into this game on a real high; after a shock victory in the FA Cup, defeating League One Southend United, thanks to Ruel Sotiriou’s goal. 

In what will be Town’s second appearance on BT Sport, this weekend’s encounter is an opportunity for the Darren Sarll’s men to show how far they have come since August.

Head-to-head

We have previously met this weekend’s visitors on 36 occasions, most recently in 2002 where Yeovil ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Adam Stansfield and Carl Alford.

A memorable Southern League clash between the two sides came in April 1976 where the Glovers convincingly dispatched of Dover with 5-1 victory.

Overall, Town hold a positive record over the Whites, with 14 victories, 13 draws and nine losses, scoring 51 goals in the process.

Officials

James Bell will be the man in the middle for Saturday’s clash. Already taking charge of nine matches this season, this will be his first refereeing Yeovil Town. 

Bell will be assisted by Michael Carmichael and Adam Ricketts with Daniel Lamport acting as the fourth official.
