Dover vs Cambridge predictions and betting tips for this FA Cup first round replay including the best odds for each bet and reasons for our tips.
These two sides drew 1-1 in the first round of the FA Cup and meet again at the Crabble Athletic Stadium on Thursday evening. We’ve got the best three betting tips for the match.
Both of these sides arrive in strong form for this replay. Dover moved up to 6th in the National League with a victory on their travels at Solihull Moors. The Moors had just lost their manager Marcus Bignot to Grimsby but even with ten men, Dover prevailed and they had their man in form Ricky Miller to thank as the former Luton man bagged a second half hat-trick. It was a 3rd win in 4 for the Whites, who look genuine play-off contenders. They’ve won 6 of their 9 games here so far this season, but were heavily beaten by in-form Tranmere recently. Cambridge have picked up in recent weeks after a horrendous start to the season. Shaun Derry’s side sat bottom of League Two in the early stages, but have improved and started to find their rhythm in recent weeks. They’ve won three of their last four away games, drawing the other. They have tended to be more effective away from the Abbey Stadium having lost their last two home games 1-0. They don’t to keep many clean sheets though which is still a concern for Derry and something they must improve on. There is still plenty of work to do as they sit 17th in the 4th tier, but they are looking up rather than over their shoulders.

Dover vs Cambridge Team News
Sam Magri is away with the Malta national side for their qualifiers and could be back for this, but it may come a day too soon for him.
Cambridge are unlikely to make too many changes to a side that are playing well. Ben Williamson and Medy Elito both got game time from the bench and will be hoping they’ve done enough to start here.
