Montrose play host to Dumbarton at Links Park Ground on Saturday morning, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 50 games played, Gable Endies have recorded 24 wins, and Dumbarton have come away with 16 victories.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Montrose at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Gable Endies will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
