Forfar Athletic v Dumbarton preview

Published 22 Sep 2011 09:30

DUMBARTON face another difficult league clash on Saturday as they try to pull themselves out of the relegation zone.

The Sons will travel to Forfar Athletic on Saturday who moved up to fourth spot following their victory over Stirling Albion.

The Loons claimed the three points thanks to goals from Joe Shaughness, Chris Templean and Low against the Binos.

Dumbarton will be desperate to recover from their heavy defeat to Cowdenbeath.

Going on last season's meetings with the promotion-chasing side, it will certainly not be an easy place to go to secure a win.

In their last clash with Forfar, they lost 4-1 in their first meeting of the season against the Loons.

Pat Walker's strike wasn't enough for Dumbarton in January as Forfar secured a 2-1 win against Forfar at the Rock. And there was more bad luck against Dick Campbell's men a month later as Jon McShane's goal was cancelled out by Martin Fotheringham and Bryan Deasley.

And Dumbarton finally got their first point against Forfar in the final game of the season at the Rock as they both battled to a 0-0 draw.

Dumbarton's away clash with Forfar Athletic kicks off at 3pm on Saturday at Station Park.
