FARNBOROUGH will play host to a Dagenham & Redbridge side full of optimism and Premier League aspirations following confirmation that YouTuber KSI had purchased a 20% stake in the club.
Here’s a brief run-through of the key details ahead of this National League South tie at the Saunders Transport Community Stadium.
Home side Farnborough will be eager to make their two games in hand on relegation rivals Chippenham Town count as they seek survival in this 19:45 fixture as we enter the business end of the 25/26 campaign.
They lost by a slender 1-0 margin last time out when miscommunication between the Yellows’ backline and goalkeeper Joe Duncan allowed Maidstone United’s John Gilbert to capitalise from a tight angle.
The 19-year-old has been viewed as an exciting loan signing who could prove a vital addition to his temporary side after signing from Bristol City, having already been called up to Jamaica’s Under-23 squad.
He penned a deal in June 2025 that will keep him at the Championship side until summer 2027.
The primary goal threat for Spencer Day’s side will be Rakish Bingham (11) and Mason Enigbokan-Bloomfield (7), who have amassed respectable tallies despite the club’s current position.
Dagenham & Redbridge, by comparison, have enjoyed a far more comfortable campaign in the NLS, with their recent victory at league leaders Dorking Wanderers in early March solidifying their place in mid-table.
The Daggers have been without their talisman former Premier League striker Andy Carroll, who hasn’t played since December 2025. His last appearance was a home league fixture against Slough, which finished goalless.
They go into the fixture having amassed 53 points in total so far this campaign, with 14 wins, 11 draws and 13 defeats in the league.
Curiously, at this late stage of the season, the visitors are yet to see a player reach double figures in the league; former Farnborough midfielder Joe Haigh (7), a product of the Chelsea youth academy, has the most goals to date.
Andy Carroll is joint second-highest (6) with three of those coming at the expense of local side AFC Totton in a dominant 5-0 victory at the Snows Stadium.
Both sides will be eager to see this fixture played at the third attempt, after it was postponed on 31 January 2026 and again in February due to a waterlogged pitch.
