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 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Bully Wee's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.

Ayr Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division One with a return of just 10 points from their 10 games thus far. Clyde see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 14 points from their 9 games played so far,
