Dumbarton supporters put their faith in manager J. Duffy to deliver victory against Peterhead

Dumbarton and Peterhead should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Dumbarton form and stats

Dumbarton have collected 6 points from their League One home games so far after 2-0-3.

The home team returns to YOUR Radio 103FM Stadium after sharing the points with Stranraer (placed 10th) on their last time out; the League One game ended 0-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Forfar Athletic in a game that was won 3-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dumbarton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 3.

Dumbarton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 5 attempts. Dumbarton's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Peterhead form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Peterhead, who have the most conceded goals (14) away in League One, playing as the away team in the League One this season. Recent form does not give Peterhead much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Dumbarton will be a tough nut to crack. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Peterhead's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Peterhead, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Falkirk (placed 3rd). A loss against Airdrieonians was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Peterhead lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Peterhead are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Peterhead are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 6 goals in these matches.
