Dumbarton vs Annan Athletic: match statistics
Dumbarton performs significantly better at home, as evidenced by their 36% win rate at home and a positive goal difference of +2 in home matches. The hosts are in good form, averaging 1.8 points per game in their last five matches and remaining unbeaten during that period (2 wins, 3 draws). Annan Athletic struggles away from home, winning only 14% of their away matches and having a negative goal difference of -10. The visitors fail to score in 57% of their away games, which, combined with Dumbarton's solid defense (29% clean sheets at home), further diminishes their chances. Annan's recent form (2 defeats in their last 5 matches) and the clear xG advantage of the hosts (1.01 vs 1.06, but with better efficiency) point towards a Dumbarton victory, although a draw also remains a realistic scenario.
