Ayr United take on Alloa Athletic in Saturday’s League Cup clash.
Scroll down for all of our predictions, poll and stats for the Ayr United v Alloa Athletic game - plus the latest match odds.
Ayr United are hoping to win again after their last result, the 2-0 League Cup victory vs Edinburgh City.
For Ayr United, goals were scored by Owen Stirton (62') and Kenzie Mitchell (77').
Over their last six games, Gary Naysmith's Ayr United have hit the back of the net 8 times, with that being an average number of goals per match equal to 1.33.
In their previous game, Alloa Athletic drew 1-1 in the League Cup tie with Falkirk.
The only player to score from Alloa Athletic was Kyle Glasgow (65'). Scott Tanser (39') was the scorer for Falkirk. After a tense 4-2 penalty shootout, Alloa Athletic were victorious.
The stats tell the story, and Alloa Athletic have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals in total. In defence, Alloa Athletic can certainly do much better. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, of course.
A quick look at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 14/12/2019 tells us that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Alloa Athletic. They have not been able to come away with any wins whatsoever while Ayr United have been too good for them, finishing as winners in 83 per cent of those games played.
Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 22 overall which averages out at 3.67 goals per match.
Out of a mainly available group of players, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Alloa Athletic boss Andy Graham to be concerned about. 1 (Alloa Athletic) won’t be in action.
We’re thinking that Ayr United can and should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
In contrast, Alloa Athletic may well struggle to make a breakthrough although we do reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet, too.
We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 win for Ayr United come full-time.
Checking out the betting prices for the game on the 90 minute result market, backing Ayr United is best priced at 1.5, backing the draw is 4 & staking on a victory for Alloa Athletic will get you 5. Those are the best of the market prices on offer as of now.
