Dagenham & Redbridge's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Daggers have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Morecambe's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Shrimps's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
