Dumbarton prepare to entertain Alloa Athletic at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sons are clearly on top, having won 31 and lost only 13 of the 60 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Dumbarton's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Sons have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
