Dagenham & Redbridge – Waltham Abbey

Recent form · Written before the match

Dagenham has only one directly verified 2026 result in the sources consulted: a 1-1 draw away at Waltham Abbey on September 19 in the FA Cup. The other 2026 results are not established by reliable open pages.

Waltham Abbey recorded a 2-1 home win against Leverstock Green on September 15, followed by a 1-1 draw against Dagenham on September 19; a 0-2 defeat to Fakenham Town on September 12 appears cautiously in the club’s site search, without a detailed page reliably accessible. Chance quality, shots, pressing, possession, and advanced metrics are information not available.

Rest is comparable, and no quantifiable travel advantage has been established.

Head-to-head · Written before the match

The only verified recent meeting is Waltham Abbey 1-1 Dagenham & Redbridge, on 19 September 2026, in the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup. Hacey Beautyman scored for Dagenham in the 53rd minute and Jaden Ogwuazor equalised for Waltham Abbey in the 75th.

No other fixture between these sides, particularly during the previous season, has been confirmed by publicly available sources. This precedent indicates recent balance, but its prédictive valeur remains limited because of the new venue and unconfirmed line-ups.

Absences and returns

No confirmed list of absentees, suspended players or doubtful players, no verified uncertainty regarding the goalkeepers, and no usable press conference were found before 22 September 2026 at 00:40 UTC. The lack of information does not make it possible to conclude that there are no injured players.

Context & news

The stakes are qualification for the 3rd qualifying round, with Brentwood Town as the winner’s opponent. Dagenham scenario: playing at home at Victoria Road and scoring the first goal could allow them to turn greater territorial control into qualification, but this reading would be weakened by the absence of starters from the first leg or by a late equaliser.

Waltham Abbey scenario: a compact block, transitions and another late goal could extend or turn the match around; this hypothesis would be strengthened by the presence of its goalkeeper and defence from September 19, a lineup that has not been confirmed. Transitions, box defending, set pieces and pressing are unavailable information.

Lineups and squad

The match is a replay at Victoria Road, Dagenham & Redbridge’s stadium, on Tuesday 22 September 2026 at 19:45 local time. The official line-up for 22 September has not been published in the sources consulted.

Nathan Ashmore was Dagenham’s goalkeeper and Bradley Robinson was Waltham Abbey’s during the match on 19 September, without their starting positions being confirmed for the replay. Any rotation related to the schedule remains hypothetical.
