Out of a mainly full-strength squad, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Ayr United boss Gary Naysmith to be concerned with. 1 (Ayr United) won’t be playing here.
Our thinking is that Ayr United will likely be able to put a goal past this Falkirk side, although it may not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.
We can see both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Falkirk at full-time. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
