History of the Alloa Athletic v Dumbarton fixture

Dumbarton face a trip to Alloa Athletic at Recreation Park on Tuesday evening, 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 less than a year ago, in January 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Scottish Division Two match.
