In their last nine league matches, Dover have won just once, drawing twice and losing six times, including back-to-back away defeats at Farnborough and Dagenham & Redbridge. Hanwell, by contrast, have lost only one of their last seven league outings, picking up three wins and three draws in that spell. Neither run is huge, but the direction of travel is clearly different.

Dover's league level doesn't currently match their recent league form, which has been shaky.

Comparative Team Statistics: Hanwell Town vs Dover

Two cup winners meet

Both sides go into this tie fresh from FA Cup wins on the same weekend. Hanwell Town edged Burgess Hill Town 2-1 at home, while Dover won more convincingly away at Folkestone Invicta, 4-2. That's given each side a reason for confidence heading into the next round.

The gap in level should, in theory, favour Dover, but their patchy domestic form takes some of the shine off that advantage. Hanwell have been the more consistent team of late, even if it's at a lower level, and a cup tie can flatten out some of the usual gaps between divisions anyway.
