Facing the National League’s two worst teams, Dover Athletic will welcome Weymouth to Crabble Stadium, knowing that neither team will finish the season on minus points with kickoff at 2 pm.
After earning a record-breaking 13 points, Dover’s abject season ends with Sunday’s home clash against Weymouth. This season, Dover’s tally of 13 points would have still seen them finish bottom of the table even without the deduction.
Just two wins have represented a miserable season for Dover, who holds the record for the most defeats and the least wins in the league.
After suffering relegation from the National League South, Dover Athletic welcome Weymouth, who have also been relegated.
While not a good season for either team, Weymouth’s tally of 25 points for the season is only higher than their bottom-placed weekend opponents.
Last victorious in mid-February, a run of 15 matches without a win led to Weymouth’s inevitable relegation. They eye up a final-day victory to lessen the blow of demotion to the seventh tier of English football.
However, if past results go by, Dover will come out ahead. The latter has won three out of the last four head-to-head meetings between Weymouth and Dover.

Dover Athletic Team News
Alexis Andre Jr hopes to end the season with a clean sheet against relegated Weymouth this weekend. Michael Gyasi has top-scored for Dover with five goals so far, and the German-born forward should feature for the hosts this weekend.
Weymouth Team News
One of Weymouth’s standout performers this season has been Josh McQuoid, who has scored eight goals for the Terras. McQuoid wasn’t involved last weekend but could feature for the visitors, with dynamic midfielder Omar Mussa hoping to provide creativity just behind.
Prediction and Odds
Both clubs are coming to the end of a torrid season, but, likely, both sides have already switched their attention to next year. Next season, Bognor Regis Town and Havant & Waterlooville will meet each other again, but do not expect a classic in the final game of this campaign. Most likely, there will be a score draw at Crabble.
- Draw
- Double Chance
- Goals Under 2.5
