Daryl McMahon’s Dagenham are mid-table in the National League having recorded three wins and as many losses in their last six outings.
The Essex side’s last match was a 2-1 victory at home to York City on Saturday, with Dean Rancescoring the winner in the 71st minute after Shaqai Forde’s opener for the travelling side was cancelled out in the first half by Inih Effiong.
Back-to-back wins and a fourth triumph in their last five matches could put the Daggers just a point outside the playoff places.
Any kind of top-half finish would represent a fine turnaround for them after they won just three times in their opening 10 matches – a 4-1 defeat to Wrexham in the reverse fixture left them 17th in the table.
The centre-forwards have really come up trumps for McMahon’s side this term, as 10 goals from Junior Morias together with the four provided by Inih Effiong in eight appearances since his move from Aldershot Town have kept Dagenham’s promotion flame flickering.
Josh Walker also contributed a double-figure haul of strikes to their tally before his transfer to Burton Albion in January.
Wrexham are having the time of their lives under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, as well as the astute management of Phil Parkinson. The Welsh side are top of the National League and reached the fourth round of the FA Cup where they were beaten by Sheffield United.
The Red Dragons are a massive 20 points clear of Woking in third but they will have to hold off the challenge of Notts County in second if they are to have a title to go with their inevitable promotion, as the Magpies are just a point behind them in the table.
Parkinson’s side have scored a whopping 90 goals en route to the Football League, 29 of which have been netted by Paul Mullin who has been a true talisman for the Welsh outfit all season.

Mullin is four behind Macauley Langstaff in the race for the Golden Boot, so he has a personal incentive to continue rattling in the strikes as the season reaches its climax besides the benefit for his club.
Mullin’s numbers have been supplemented by 14 from his strike partner Ollie Palmer, while few statistics have demonstrated Wrexham’s dominance over the rest of the division more than the 12 goals scored by centre-back Aaron Hayden.
Wrexham travel to Dagenham off the back of a 2-2 draw away at Maidenhead United in their last match, so they will be looking to return to winning ways on Tuesday night as they hope to cement their position at the summit of the National League.
