Dumbarton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Sons have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Airdrie Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Diamonds's have scored 12 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 13.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Sons at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Diamonds come away with an easy victory. Away win
