Dumbarton travel to take on Ayr United at Somerset Park, Ayr on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Ayr Utd. was just over four years ago, in December 2005, with Ayr Utd. running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Ayr United's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Honest Men have scored 4, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the Sons have hit 9 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches. Dumbarton find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 2 games have yielded only 0 points.
