Match preview
Dumbarton welcome Keith to the Rock for this Scottish Cup tie looking to maintain their positive home rhythm. The hosts have demonstrated solid form on their own ground, taking two victories and a draw from their last three home fixtures, including a 3-2 win against Banks O' Dee, a 2-1 result against Forfar Athletic, and a 1-1 draw with Stirling Albion.
Keith enter the clash following a high-scoring 6-4 home victory over Invergordon, having also recently defeated Stonehaven 2-1 and Turriff United 1-0 at home. However, their fortunes have differed significantly on the road, where they have found both defensive stability and attacking output difficult to sustain.
Travelling away from home has proven challenging for Keith in recent outings, as they suffered a 5-0 defeat against Brora Rangers and a 2-0 loss at Huntly without registering a goal. With Dumbarton consistently finding the net at home and Keith struggling on their travels, the home side look well-positioned to avoid defeat.
