Dagenham & Redbridge desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 9 at 4:00 PM in the National League – South. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Hemel Hempstead come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Dagenham & Redbridge travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Hemel Hempstead and Dagenham & Redbridge have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (1W–1D–1W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Hemel Hempstead win or a draw looks most likely.
