Dumbarton prepare to entertain Stirling Albion at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 14 of the 34 previous games, with the Sons winning just 13.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was earlier this season, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Two match.

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. Score draw
