Recent respective form guides
Ayr United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Honest Men have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.
Ayr Utd. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Two, picking up 30 points from their 24 games so far. Raith Rovers's total of 36 points from their 24 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Bells Scottish Division Two.
