Recent respective form guides

Ayr United have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Honest Men have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Berwick Rgrs.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Borderers have hit 7 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 0 points from 1 matches. Berwick Rgrs. are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 3 points from 1 games.
