10 places separate Dagenham & Redbridge and Scunthorpe United in the National League table heading into Saturday's match, but the visitors will be trying to shrink that gap when they travel to the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

The Daggers are undefeated in their previous four matches in all competitions, bringing plenty of confidence into this particular fixture.

Match preview

Dagenham & Redbridge might only be midtable right now, but their recent performances have showcased the quality of a team capable of climbing much further.

The Daggers are undefeated in their previous four matches, and impressively their previous two games have both seen the team keep clean sheets.

However, while Daryl McMahon's men have been great at the back lately, it is at the other end of the field where they have truly been thriving this season.

Only Wrexham have managed to score more goals at home in the National League so far, and the 22 that Dagenham & Redbridge have scored will bring plenty of confidence this Saturday.

The Daggers showcased they could take that attacking quality on the road last weekend when they defeated Solihull Moors by three goals to nil, with Matt Robinson picking up a brace.

The visitors have continued their struggles from last season following their relegation from League Two, and they currently find themselves in a relegation battle once again.

Scunthorpe are 22nd at the moment, and if the club could sink to the foot of the table with a defeat if other results go against them.

On the flip side, a victory for the Irons has the possibility of getting them out of the bottom four, but they will need to end a run of four games without a win to make that happen.

Scunthorpe were comfortably beaten by Maidstone United in their previous outing, but it took their opponents until the final 15 minutes to score both of their goals.

Anthony Daws has not seen the best performances from his team away from home this season, with the club having yet to win a single game on the road, which is something they must change.

Team News

Robinson is sure to retain his place in the starting lineup for the hosts with the midfielder full of confidence after scoring a brace last weekend.

However, the club will now be without Tyreke Johnson as his loan spell at Dagenham & Redbridge has come to an end in midweek.

Despite that loss Joel Taylor is a fresh face in McMahon's squad, and he made an impressive start for the team in their previous outing.

Kgosi Ntlhe was missing for the visitors last weekend because of injury, and that could lead to Tom Pugh retaining his place in the team.

Meanwhile, the Iron will likely continue to rely upon the experience of Jacob Butterfield in this team to try and help guide them to winning ways.

Dagenham & Redbridge possible starting lineup:
Justham; Weston, Hare, Onariase, Phipps; Taylor, Rance, Robinson, Sagaf; Morias, Walker

Scunthorpe United possible starting lineup:
Dewhurst; O'Malley, Boyce, Beestin, Nuttall; Rowe, Lavery, Taft, Butterfield; Apter, Pugh

We say: Dagenham & Redbridge 4-0 Scunthorpe United

Dagenham & Redbridge are a team filled with attacking quality, and considering how well they have been playing at home they are sure to provide a tough test this weekend for their visitors.

Scunthorpe are a team low in confidence, and are likely to struggle in this particular fixture to take anything.
