Dumbarton face a trip to Forfar Athletic at Station Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
