Montrose will face off against away side Dumbarton at Links Park Stadium in this League One tie on Saturday.
Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the Montrose v Dumbarton game (inc. the best betting odds).
Montrose will be wanting a better result here after the 2-1 League One defeat in their last game at the hands of Queen Of The South.
The only player to score from Montrose was Blair Lyons (80'). Adam Brooks (6') and Jordan Allan (61') scored for Queen Of The South.
It has been seldom in recent times that Montrose have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Montrose have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals in the process. That trend might not be carried forward into this next game, though.
After a loss in their previous game against Cove Rangers in League One competition, Dumbarton will be aiming to make amends here.
The only scorer from Dumbarton was Kristian Webster (49'). Dylan Lobban (28', 81') and Fraser Fyvie (34') scored for Cove Rangers.
Stephen Farrell's Dumbarton have found the back of the net 11 times throughout their most recent six matches. The overall goals that have been scored against them during those same matches comes to 7.
Their previous form shows that Dumbarton:
Inspecting their prior head-to-head clashes stretching back to 11/12/2021 tells us that Montrose have won 3 of these games & Dumbarton 1, with the tally of drawn games being 2.
In all, 15 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 9 for The Gable Endies and 6 coming from The Sons. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.5.
The last league match featuring these sides was League One match day 25 on 15/02/2025 when it ended Dumbarton 2-3 Montrose.
The referee was Daniel Graves.
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Montrose gaffer Stewart Petrie to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Craig Wighton (Knee injury) is sidelined.
We feel that in this game, Dumbarton would be disappointed if they were not to find the net against this Montrose lineup, however that possibly won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We think that it’s going to be a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Montrose by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Expecting it to be very competitive.
Regarding the latest bookmaker odds in the win-draw-win market, a win for Montrose is best priced at 1.91, going for a drawn result is 3.5 and selecting the winner to be Dumbarton can get you 3.1. They are the best of the returns being offered at this very moment.
