Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: The C&G Systems Stadium (2025 seats)

Dumbarton hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 7th position in the League One table. Visiting Forfar Athletic holds 6th place with 10 pts.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Forfar Athletic have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-6-16 (win-draw-loss) from 30 matches.

Forfar Athletic, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in League One, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the League One, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
