MATCH PREVIEW: ARBROATH VS DUMBARTON
Dumbarton are back on the road tomorrow, making the journey to Gayfield where league leaders Arbroath await for a League One fixture [kick-off 3:00pm].
Sons come into the game on the back of three home games in seven days, where they were unfortunate to walk away empty handed in defeats to Stenhousemuir, Arbroath and Inverness CT.
The hosts, meanwhile, are looking to continue their charge for the title as they currently sit five points clear of second placed Cove Rangers having won six of their last seven fixtures.
The sides met just 10-days ago in front of the BBC Alba cameras at the Marbill Coaches Stadium where an early Michael Ruth goal was cancelled out by Andy Winter and Ryan Dow.
Sons won at Gayfield earlier this season where goals from Carlo Pignatiello, Ethan Brown and Finlay Gray secured a 3-1 victory in October.
Boss Stevie Farrell was gutted for his troops after last weeks sucker punch against Caley and believes they deserved so much more.
Speaking last weekend, he said: “You go through periods in life when you can’t get a break and that’s happening to us in football at the moment.
“We were the better side and created the better chances and if anyone deserved to win the game it was us. I’m so proud of the players and I told them that.
“The dressing room is together and they are right behind Franko and I. They give us everything but more importantly they are giving the fans everything.
“A lot of them are just at the early stages of their footballing careers but they won’t go through anything harder than this.
“Arbroath are doing exceptionally well to find themselves in a good position at the moment but we have more than matched them on all three occasions we’ve met them this season so we know we are capable of getting a result.”
