History of the Peterhead v Ayr United fixture

Ayr Utd. face a trip to Peterhead at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 2 of the 5 previous games, with the hosts winning just 1.

Recent respective form guides

Peterhead's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. The Blue Toon have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Ayr Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Honest Men's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Peterhead lie just outside the playoff positions in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, picking up 20 points from their 14 games so far. Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 14 matches.
