Albion Rvs. travel to take on Dumbarton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wee Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Dumbarton was just over four years ago, in January 2002, with Dumbarton running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
