History of the Ayr United v Ross County fixture

Ayr Utd. prepare to entertain Ross County at Somerset Park, Ayr on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 10 previous games, with the Honest Men winning just 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Somerset Park, Ayr was just last season, in March 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

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 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Ross County's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Ayr Utd. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 7 points. Ross County are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 24 points from 13 games.
