• Darren Young's side play a 4-2-3-1 system with a lot of central overloads in the middle third and they move the ball quickly to try and get on the front foot.

• Leighton McIntosh has been their biggest threat, scoring three of their six goals in the last five.

Betting Insights

• Clyde are 1.89 favourites to win against 3.55 for Dumbarton and the draw is 3.55.
• Clyde's recent form is much better than Dumbarton's, so they deserve to be the favorites here, but the draw is only a little bigger than they should be at 3.55 and that is enough of a value to take them to go with an away win.

Prediction

• Clyde's better form and superior scoring record make them the likelier winner, but Dumbarton's home bite and derby edge mean this game should be close and possibly low-scoring.
• Under 2.5 goals and both teams to score will be the main selection for this game with a narrow win for Clyde in the correct score market.
