Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there’s only the one fitness issue for the Ayr United gaffer Gary Naysmith to contend with. 1 (Ayr United) won’t be in action.
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.
Checking the betting prices for this game on the WDW market, putting your money on Falkirk is best priced at 1.5, betting on the game finishing all-square is 4.1 & selecting victory for Ayr United can be had at 5. They’re the best of the returns that can be secured as of now.
