Dagenham vs. Salford City: preview and betting tips

A poor Monday’s football schedule will offer a match between two minnows in the first round of the FA Cup. Dagenham welcome the favoured Salford, who play League Two, to their ground. Who will go next?

Dagenham are in eighth place in the National League, England’s fifth highest competition, and are hoping to progress. In the FA Cup play-offs, they came through Wealdstone after winning 2-1, despite playing with ten men from the second minute.

Salford, as a League Two participant, did not have to qualify. However, they cannot be satisfied with the way the season is going, they are only four points clear of the relegation places. He would like to make up for it in the cup.

Paul McCallum is the mainstay of the home side, the experienced striker has already scored six goals. Central midfielder Matt Robinson and Portuguese right winger Mauro Vilhete have added three more goals.

Brandon Thomas-Asante is doing well in Salford’s squad, the young striker boasts a 4+1 record. Experienced playmaker Tom Elliott has assisted twice in addition to the three goals scored and is one of the stars of the team.

Dagenham rely on a goal scoring attack, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four games. That doesn’t play into the hands of the visitors, who on the other hand have fished the ball out of the net eight times in their last three games.

Considering the quality of Salford’s squad and their experience in similar matches, they can be expected to progress to the next round.
