Recent respective form guides

Elgin City's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. City have conceded a disappointing 12 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sons have hit 8 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Elgin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 19 games have yielded only 9 points. Dumbarton are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 34 points from 20 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the City at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Sons come away with an easy victory. Away win

Elgin City	Failed to win in previous 6 home matches. Not won in the 10 most recent games.
