Alloa Ath. face a trip to Dumbarton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wasps will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 11 of the 57 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, as the Sons edged out their past their rivals by a score of 3 - 2 in a Scottish Division Two match.
