Berwick Rgrs. prepare to entertain Dumbarton at Shielfield Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 19 of the 45 previous games, with the Borderers winning just 17.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Shielfield Park was just last season, in March 2007, the Borderers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Berwick Rangers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Borderers have scored 12, a worringly large 22 have been leaked at the other end.
Dumbarton's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. The Sons's have scored 7 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Berwick Rgrs. are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 4 points from 2 games. Dumbarton see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 2 points from their 2 games played so far,

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Berwick Rgrs. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Borderers will at least gain a draw. Score draw
