Stenhousemuir
DLLLDL 📉
Stenhousemuir will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-0 League One defeat in their last game at the hands of Queen Of The South.
Fraser Bryden (59') and Harry Cochrane (63') scored for Queen Of The South.
It’s been all too rare in recent times that Stenhousemuir have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Stenhousemuir have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 14 goals on the way.
Leading up to this clash, Stenhousemuir:
- have not lost a league tie with Dumbarton in their previous 6 games.
- are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Prediction
In our view, Stenhousemuir will probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the same time, Dumbarton may well find it hard to score a goal of their own although we do think it’s probable that they will be scoring as well.
Therefore, we are anticipating a 3-1 winning score for Stenhousemuir when the full-time whistle blows.
