History of the Ayr United v Airdrie United fixture

Ayr Utd. prepare to entertain Airdrie United at Somerset Park, Ayr on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 27 of the 71 previous games, with the Honest Men winning just 26.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Somerset Park, Ayr was less than a year ago, in May 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish League Play-Offs (Lvls 2&3) match.

Recent respective form guides

Ayr United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Honest Men have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Airdrie Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the The Diamonds have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Ayr Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 4 games have yielded only 2 points. Airdrie Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 2 points from 4 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Ayr Utd. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Honest Men will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
