Bromley vs Dagenham and Redbridge Predictions

• In total, 67% of Bromley’s matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
• Bromley have scored in 100% of their home matches.
• Dagenham & Redbridge have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 13 matches.
• Dagenham & Redbridge have lost their last six away matches.

Keeping the pressure up at the top

There will not have been many people who picked Bromley as as a promotion candidate from the National League at the start of the season. But as we approach the new year, they are still well within the running to be playing their football in League Two next season.

The hosts have claimed 44 points from their 27 games so far and that leaves them third in the league, just four points off the top two. The hosts largely have their excellent offensive play to thank for the position they find themselves in, as they have the third-best offensive record in the division with 45 goals in 27 games.

Given they average 2.15 goals per game on home soil and have scored in all home league games this season, they will be confident they have the ability to secure another three points this weekend.

Troubles on the road

Dagenham & Redbridge are the visitors this weekend and it is fair to say things have not exactly gone to plan for them of late. The Daggers are without a win in their last six league games and they have also fallen to defeat in each of their last six away matches in the league.

While their hosts may be free scoring, that is something which is not exactly true of Dagenham & Redbridge. They have netted 31 goals, the fourth-worst offensive record in the division.

It is not exactly something which has been improving either, as they have failed to score in each of their last four away matches. With the side conceding six times over the same timescale, it is easy to see why they are struggling so much.

The hosts should prove too strong

One look at the table shows just where the three points should be heading in this fixture. But given Bromley have only won two of their last eight league matches, they are not exactly a reliable punt on the win-draw-win market. However, their goalscoring record is impressive and the fact they average 2.15 goals per game as well as scoring in all  their home matches this season is reason to be hopeful they will have a successful afternoon.

This, combined with the fact their visitors are so poor on the road, suggests to us backing Bromley to score over 1.5 team goals is the way to go.

In terms of our correct score tip, we think that average of 2.15 goals per game is a key indication of what will happen in this match. On the other side of the pitch, we have a side who have lost their last four league matches to nil and average just 0.62 goals per game. With this in mind, our tip is for this match to finish with a 2-0 home win.
