Dagenham and Redbridge vs Salford City Predictions

• Salford have lost five of their six away games in League Two this term
• Salford have won once within 90 minutes across their last nine FA Cup games
• Dagenham & Redbridge have lost only once at home this season

Upset on the cards for Salford

Despite starting this season as one of the favourites for the League Two title, Salford sit 19th in the table. There’s more chance of their climb up the leagues being reversed than continuing this term.

Salford will take hope at how Bolton surged from midtable to win promotion after January last season, but by then their FA Cup run could be over. The visitors have lost five of six League Two trips this season, winning only once across eight away days in total this term.

On top of that, the visitors hardly have a stellar record in this competition. They needed extra-time to progress from the First Round last term – this year they’d be sent to a replay instead. Within 90 minutes, Salford have won just once in nine FA Cup games – a narrow win over lower-league Marine.

There’s little between these two sides, with Dagenham & Redbridge eighth in the National League. The hosts are capable of closing that gap, having lost only once at home this term, scoring at least twice in all seven matches.

I’m backing Dagenham & Redbridge to keep that unbeaten run going, as the hosts look good on the double chance market. Meanwhile, Salford have seen BTTS land in their last three, so a 2-1 defeat for the visitors is my correct score prediction.
