Dalbeattie Star's results here at Islecroft Stadium in the Football League - Lowland League have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 12 defeats.

Dalbeattie Star played out an unpredictable defeat 1-7 against Bo'ness United in their previous outing, also a home game. Dalbeattie were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Heartbreak before that as Dalbeattie Star lost 1-5 at East Stirlingshire's place.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cowdenbeath are coming to town in three days.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Cowdenbeath's place.

Take note! Both sides have scored at least once in 21 of this club's last 28 league matches.
