Ayr Utd. prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Somerset Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Honest Men are clearly on top, having won 28 and lost only 13 of the 54 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Somerset Park was less than a year ago, in March 2003, with St. Johnstone inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Honest Men in a Scottish Division One match.

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 14 have been leaked at the other end.
St. Johnstone'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 Saints pummel 12 goals, and let in 5.
Ayr Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division One with a return of just 11 points from their 16 games thus far. St. Johnstone are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 28 points from 16 games.
