Dumbarton face a trip to Forfar Athletic at Station Park 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 most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Forfar Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Loons have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Sons have hit 4 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Forfar Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 16 games have yielded only 12 points. Dumbarton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 17 matches.
