Peterhead vs Dumbarton Prediction & Betting Tips (7 September)

A return of just one point from the last 27 available serves to emphasise just how poor Dumbarton have been on the road of late, with 23 goals conceded across this miserable run of fixtures. The story has been a very different one as far as Peterhead are concerned on their own patch recently, with 16 wins from 19 matches at the top table of the Challenge Cup.

When Dumbarton come calling in the Challenge Cup, over 2.5 goals tends to be the order of the day, with this being the case in 17 of the Dumbarton outfit’s previous 20 away games. Not only that, but 19 of the last 20 Peterhead home matches at the top table of Spanish football have also delivered a minimum of two successful strikes, so this pattern should continue.

Over the course of their last 17 Challenge Cup matches, Dumbarton have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes on 13 occasions, so the Dumbarton has not been entirely responsible for the excitement levels going up. As for an impressive Peterhead side, 12 of their previous 15 top-flight games have also been devoid of clean sheets at either end.
