Recent respective form guides

Ayr United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 6.

Peterhead's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the The Blue Toon have hit 11 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Ayr Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Two, picking up 29 points from their 22 games so far. Peterhead see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 26 points from their 22 games played so far,
