History of the Dumbarton v Stenhousemuir fixture

Stenhousemuir face a trip to Dumbarton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Warriors will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 39 and win only 16 of the 66 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2010, the Sons carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Dumbarton's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Sons have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Stenhousemuir's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Warriors have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dumbarton find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 0 points. Stenhousemuir are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 4 points from 4 matches.
