It’s almost time for League Cup action taking place on Saturday when Ayr United play against Alloa Athletic.
All Ayr United v Alloa Athletic game predictions, stats and user poll are shown below - plus the latest match odds.
Ayr United, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-0 League Cup triumph over Edinburgh City.
For Ayr United, the scorers were 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.

The only player to score from Alloa Athletic was Kyle Glasgow (65'). Scott Tanser (39') was the scorer for Falkirk. Alloa Athletic ran out winners after a 4-2 penalty shootout.
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 study of their past head to head results going back to 14/12/2019 tells us that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Alloa Athletic. They have not been able to register any victories at all whereas Ayr United have just been stronger than them, winning in 83% of those matches played.
Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 22 in all which averages out at 3.67 goals per meeting.
Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Alloa Athletic boss Andy Graham to contend with. 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.
