Recent respective form guides

Dagenham & Redbridge's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Daggers have scored 4, a worringly large 18 have been leaked at the other end.

Dag. & Red. see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide Conference, showing a record of 48 points from their 38 games played so far, Morecambe lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide Conference, picking up 59 from their 38 games so far.
