Dumbarton form and stats

Dumbarton was sent out of League Cup in the group stage last season.

6-1-11 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Dumbarton in their League One matches away.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a League Cup home loss versus Stirling Albion with 1-2 on the scoreboard.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Dumbarton manager Farrell as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Peterhead.

Head 2 Head
