Recent respective form guides

Ayr United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Honest Men have scored 7, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Airdrie Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Diamonds's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 9 against.

Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 16 matches. Airdrie Utd.'s total of 25 points from their 16 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Two.
