๐ฐ Team News: Forfar Athletic
The Forfar Athletic boss Ray McKinnon will be happy not to have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this match owing to a completely injury-free group available for selection.
๐๏ธ Team News: Dumbarton
Out of a mainly available squad, thereโs just the sole fitness issue for the Dumbarton gaffer Stephen Farrell to contend with. Brett Long (Broken ankle) wonโt be in action.
๐ง Prediction
Weโre envisaging that Forfar Athletic may find it difficult to get anything against this Dumbarton outfit who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.
Weโre therefore anticipating a narrow 0-1 win for Dumbarton when all is said and done.
Hopefully itโs a good one.
