💭 Prediction
In our opinion, Hamilton Academical will have to work hard as a team to hit the back of the net against this Ayr United team who we reckon should manage to score & go ahead.
We therefore fancy a narrow 0-1 win for Ayr United when the referee blows for full-time.
Hoping for a good game.
