Hartlepool United welcome Dagenham & Redbridge to the Vic on Friday aiming to add to their impressive home performances in 2021.
Pools are unbeaten in 11 games and will be looking for a
repeat of the result a week ago when Luke Armstrong's goal saw them take all
three points. Since that match, both sides have played play-off hopefuls. Dave
Challinor's side took a point from Stockport while Dagenham beat one-time runaway
leaders Torquay.The Opposition
The Daggers currently sit in 16th, though they're just eight
points from the play-off places. They've won just three of their last five,
with their defeat against Pools their only defeat. Led by Daryl McMahon, the
team includes Elliot Justham, the goalkeeper that did his utmost to frustrate
Pools at The Chigwell Construction Stadium.Dagenham's last five games:
Dagenham & Redbridge 1 – 0 Torquay United
Dagenham & Redbridge 0 – 1 Hartlepool United
Altrincham 0 – 1 Dagenham & Redbridge

The History
The teams have played each other 16 times, with Pools
winning nine times against the Daggers. Before last month's victory, our last
win was in December 2019 when Mark Kitching's goal was the difference at
