Dumbarton

DDWWWL

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Kelty Hearts in Challenge Cup competition, Dumbarton and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

The only player to score from Dumbarton was Michael Ruth (34').

Dumbarton have attacked well in the lead-up to this encounter, having scored 11 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Dumbarton have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same outings. That trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this next game, of course.

Coming into this contest, Dumbarton haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.
