Recent respective form guides

Ayr United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Honest Men have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Brechin's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The City's have scored 10 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 12.

Ayr Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division One with a return of just 3 points from their 6 games thus far. Brechin find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 1 points.
