Morton prepare to entertain Dumbarton at Cappielow Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The 'Ton are clearly on top, having won 35 and lost only 8 of the 56 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cappielow Park was less than a year ago, in April 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that The 'Ton's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past Dumbarton. Home Win
