Dagenham & Redbridge vs Waltham Abbey: Match Preview
Dagenham & Redbridge return home after a 1-1 draw away at Waltham Abbey in the FA Cup, looking to snap a run of just one win in their last five matches. Their recent form string of DLLDW reflects a side struggling for attacking fluency, with only three goals scored in that stretch and two matches where they failed to find the net. Waltham Abbey, by contrast, arrive with momentum from a 2.6 goals-per-game average over their last five, including a resounding 7-0 away win in the previous cup round and three clean sheets.
Statistically, the matchup pivots on Waltham Abbey’s potent attack against Dagenham’s modest defensive record. Abbey have not failed to score in any of their last five, while Dagenham have managed just a single clean sheet and have yet to keep one in the cup this season. Both teams have generated more goals in the second half recently, but overall goal volume has been moderate, with over 2.5 goals landing in only half of Abbey’s cup games and none of Dagenham’s. Set piece and discipline data is unavailable, but neither side has shown a significant cards or corners trend.
The model expects a competitive but slightly open contest, with Waltham Abbey’s higher attacking output and away scoring rate giving them the edge. Dagenham’s home advantage and defensive solidity could keep the margin slim, but the likeliest outcome is a 2-1 win for the visitors, reflecting their superior recent scoring rates and cup form.

The Case For This Dagenham & Redbridge vs Waltham Abbey Prediction
This FA Cup replay features Dagenham & Redbridge hosting Waltham Abbey after a 1-1 draw in the original tie. Dagenham arrive with a modest record—just one win in their last five and a scoring average of 0.6 goals per game in that span—while Waltham Abbey’s recent results have been more explosive, including a 7-0 away win and 2.6 goals per game across their last five. The statistical contrast is stark: Dagenham’s attack has struggled for output, while Abbey have shown both attacking punch and defensive stability with three clean sheets in five. The matchup is defined by Waltham Abbey’s away scoring rate (7 goals in their only away cup match this season) against a Dagenham side that has failed to score in two of their last five. Dagenham’s defence has been more reliable than their attack, conceding just 0.8 per game over the last five, but their season clean sheet rate stands at 0%. The first meeting was tight, but Abbey’s higher shot conversion and recent cup form suggest they can create more high-value chances. Both teams have a tendency to keep games low-scoring early, with only one first-half goal each in their last five matches. The model projects a slightly above-average goal environment, with over 2.5 goals rated at 52%. Waltham Abbey’s superior attacking numbers and away record tip the probabilities in their favour, but Dagenham’s home advantage and defensive resilience keep the draw in play. The likeliest scenario is a narrow Abbey win, with a 1-2 scoreline the modal outcome.
