On the back of a tough 5-1 away defeat by Stenhousemuir, Annan Athletic manager Willie Gibson will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.  

They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.  

They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.

Dumbarton will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Kelty Hearts with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.  

Having drawn their last 5 and failing to win any of their last 8 league games, The Sons will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.  

Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Dumbarton, Mark Durnan will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
