LONDON (Interstat) — An in-form Tilbury side will look to continue its perfect FA Trophy run when it visits a struggling Dagenham & Redbridge in a third-round matchup Saturday.

Tilbury enters the contest unbeaten in the competition with a record of 5-0-1. Their form across all competitions is equally formidable at 6-1-1, including a 1-0 victory over Hadley in their most recent outing on Oct. 25.

In stark contrast, Dagenham & Redbridge has played just one match in the FA Trophy this season, a draw. Their overall record of 4-6-4 points to a team struggling for consistency. The Daggers are coming off a scoreless draw with Bath City on Nov. 8, which extended their current unbeaten streak to three matches — their best run of the season.

This fixture presents a classic clash of a cup specialist against a league side searching for momentum. Tilbury’s stingy defense, which has conceded just one goal in its last four matches across all competitions, will be tested by a Dagenham attack that has been held scoreless in two of its last three games.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, which would see the tie decided by a penalty shootout.

The winner will advance in the FA Trophy, England’s premier knockout competition for non-league clubs. For Dagenham & Redbridge, a victory could provide a crucial spark ahead of a congested league schedule, with a match against Maidenhead United looming on Nov. 22.
