📊 Form Guide

Ayr United

DLDWLL

Ayr United won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 0-2 Championship losing effort in their last game against Inverness C.T.

Daniel Mackay (31') and Shane Sutherland (54') scored for Inverness C.T.

It’s not been often in recent times where Ayr United haven’t conceded. The reality is that The Honest Men have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 8 goals on the way.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Ayr United:

• have not registered a win against Arbroath in their previous 2 league games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 2 league games.

Arbroath

DWDWDW 📈

Arbroath will go into the game after a 1-0 Championship win vs Raith Rovers in their previous game.

The only scorer from Arbroath was Kris Doolan (60').

A series of very capable displays by the Arbroath defensive players has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their past 6 outings combined. In that period, their own attack force has managed to score 7. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be continued on here.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Arbroath:

• remain undefeated by Ayr United in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 3 away league matches.

📰 Team News: Ayr United

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Ayr United gaffer Mark Kerr to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Craig Moore (Cruciate Ligament Surgery) misses out.

📰 Team News: Arbroath

Arbroath boss Dick Campbell has not got a full squad to pick from. Jake Davidson (Knock), Gavin Swankie (Knock) and Luke Donnelly (Knock) are those who can’t be considered.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the view that Arbroath will have their work cut out to see themselves scoring against this Ayr United side who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

We’re therefore seeing a narrow 1-0 victory for Ayr United at the end of this game.
