History of the Dagenham & Redbridge v Macclesfield Town fixture

Dag. & Red. prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Victoria Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the Daggers winning just 2.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its a close one to call, but I think that Daggers's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Macclesfield. Home Win

Dag. & Red. 11 games since last home draw.
Not won in the 4 most recent games.
