Dumbarton prepare to entertain Greenock Morton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 25 of the 55 previous games, with the Sons winning just 21.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Dumbarton have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The Sons's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Morton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the The 'Ton, and 5 goals against.
Dumbarton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 23 matches. Morton are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 37 points from 23 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Dumbarton at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Sons will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
