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 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.
Stirling Alb.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Binos's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 11 goals for and 10 against.
Ayr Utd.'s 40 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Stirling Alb. are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 45 points from 31 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Ayr Utd. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Honest Men will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
