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 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Partick Th.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The The Jags's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Dumbarton find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 35 games have yielded only 26 points. Partick Th.'s total of 54 points from their 35 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Two.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Sons at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Jags come away with an easy victory. Away win
