Recent respective form guides

Berwick Rangers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Borderers have scored 5, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Ayr Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Honest Men have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Berwick Rgrs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division Two with a return of just 5 points from their 9 games thus far. Ayr Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 12 points from their 9 games played so far,
