FA Cup Qualifying run could spell trouble for Daggers
Dagenham & Redbridge may have to be at their very best on Saturday to beat the free-flowing Blues in the FA Cup Qualification 2026.
The Daggers may be in decent form, winning six, drawing one and losing three of their 10 in all competitions since the start of October, but their performance in away games in recent weeks has been less impressive.
The Daggers have won one, drawn one and lost two of their away fixtures in all competitions this season, and they're conceding an average of 1.25 goals per away game.
Brentwood Town are a different proposition to the teams Dagenham have been playing recently, and the Blues will be a much tougher test for them on Saturday.
Brentwood’s free-flowing style will test Dagenham
The Blues are in good form, winning three of their last five games, and their players are capable of pulling together some exciting patterns of play when they get going.
Brentwood are sharp in the final third, as they enjoy getting the ball down and playing combinations, and they have some good pace on the flanks to stretch the opposition wide.
Malachi Linton is Brentwood's main attacking spark, and he is currently on a rich vein of form - the attacking midfielder has scored three of his team's nine goals in the last five.
The hosts have won five, drawn one and lost four of their 10 in all competitions in this period, so they're a bit inconsistent, but we like the look of them at home on Saturday.
Brentwood have won three and lost two of their five home games in all competitions. Those stats suggest they will be involved in a lively game on Saturday, and they should have enough about them to edge out a Daggers side that will try to stifle the game.
Dagenham are a pragmatic side, with width a key feature of their game as they look to cross, play long throws and set pieces into the box. A clash of styles may ensue, but we're backing the home team to win this one in what should be an exciting cup tie.
