Dag & Red Team News
Dag & Red is in the National League (5th tier) since 2016. They are struggling in the fifth tier since the relegation and only in the first season they finished in the top 5.
Last season they were in the 8th place and missed the playoff spot only by one point. This season Dag & Red has very mixed results. They are to the inconstant team and when they had the opportunity to make a good run they somehow lose against a team where they shouldn’t lose. They were on the run of three consecutive wins but they suffered a defeat at home to the worst team in the league with 0-1.
Dag & Red is 12th in the National League with 29 points after 20 rounds and the playoffs zone is four points far. In one part of the season, Dag & Red was the most entertaining team in England. They played games with many goals and their results were 4-1, 0-5, 4-1, 5-1, 3-2, 5-4… but now they are a more caring team and changed their approach.
Only three league games from the last eight ended with over 2.5 goals, four from the last 11 in all competitions. Dag & Red has only four wins in all competitions away from home this season and kept three clean sheets.

Gillingham vs. Dag & Red Prediction
The stake is very big because of the prize money for a win and because the winner of this tie will play against Leicester City in the next round of the FA Cup.
Both teams play very similarly in the last few weeks – boring games with few goals. Gillingham is terrible in the attack and Dag & Red changed their approach in the last couple of weeks because they scored a lot but at the same time conceded even more.
We see this game as a close one and don’t expect beautiful football here.
