Recent respective form guides

Dumbarton's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Sons have scored 4, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Borderers have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dumbarton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 12 matches. Berwick Rgrs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 12 games have yielded only 5 points.
