My Thoughts
This match is being billed as potential 3rd division title decider, and with just 1 point between the 2 sides with only 4 games left, it's easy to see why. Dumbarton are one of the form teams in the division, collecting 16 points from their last 8 games, winning their last 4 all by 2 goals to 0. Cowdenbeath's form has begun to slip at just the worst time of the season- they have drawn their last 3 games, and have not won since beating East Stirlingshire 2-0 at Central Park a month ago. Added to this, Cowdenbeath boss Danny Lennon looks set to be without key men Brian Fairbairn, Kenny Adamson and Paul McQuade. Dumbarton have doubts over the fitness of forward Derek Carcary. The 3 previous meetings between the 2 sides this season have all been close encounters, finishing 1-1 (Strathclyde Homes Stadium), 2-0 Cowdenbeath (Central Park) and 2-1 Dumbarton (Strathclyde Homes Stadium).
The Verdict
Cowdenbeath will need to make good use of home advantage against an in-form Dumbarton side if they are to take anything from this one. The 3 previous meetings between the 2 sides this season have all been close, and I predict another close game in this one. Score draw
