Recent respective form guides
Stenhousemuir's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Warriors have scored 7, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.
Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sons have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Stenhousemuir see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 15 points from their 13 games played so far, Dumbarton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 12 matches.
