The last time the two teams met at Dumbarton was just over four years ago, in April 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Dumbarton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Sons have scored 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Brechin City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The City have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

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
