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

Inverness CT's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Those games have seen the Caley Thistle? pummel 13 goals, and let in 6.

Ayr Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division One with a return of just 11 points from their 11 games thus far. Inverness CT see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 17 points from their 11 games played so far,
