Dumbarton travel to take on Alloa Athletic at Recreation Park on Saturday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Sons have won 17 of the 54 games compared to the host's 27 victories.
The last time the two teams met at Alloa was back in April 1998, over five years ago, with Alloa running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Alloa Athletic's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Wasps have scored 11, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sons have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Not a lot has been going right generally for Dumbarton on their travels as of late, but I can certainly see them gleaning a point from their game against Alloa. Score draw

| Alloa | 10 games since last home draw. Not drawn a match in their last 9 . |
| Dumbarton | Previous 2 away games have finished all-square. Not won in previous 2 away matches. 8 games since last defeat. |
