Alloa Ath. face a trip to Dumbarton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wasps will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 11 of the 58 games.

Recent respective form guides

Dumbarton's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Sons's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Alloa Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Wasps have hit 9 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Dumbarton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 24 points from 24 matches. Alloa Ath. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 13 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...

An indifferent set of results for Alloa Ath. on the road, and I believe this game is only going to yield a solitary point for the Wasps. Score draw
