Ayr Utd vs Dunfermline Live Stats & Betting Odds
Ayr Utd Prediction – Can Ayr get back on track?
6 wins from their first 7 matches of the new Scottish Championship campaign saw Ayr United off to a flying start in the second tier and were seemingly well on their way to making a serious challenge for automatic promotion up to the Premiership, but results have dipped in alarming fashion since.
Following an excellent 5-match winning streak which saw Ayr pick up wins against Queen of the South, Partick Thistle, Dundee United, Alloa Athletic and Arbroath, the wheel seem to have fallen off in no uncertain fashion as the hosts have subsequently lost 4 of their next 6 matches and this has resulted in Ayr dropping down to 3rd place and 9 points behind Championship leaders, Dundee United.
However, with a reasonable overall home record of 4-0-2 12/7 under their belts so far, Ayr United have a good opportunity to return to winning ways when they entertain 6th placed Dunfermline on Tuesday night, especially as Ayr have lost just 2 of their last 7 matches on home turf.
Dunfermline Prediction – Can Dunfermline show improvement on road?
As mentioned earlier, Dunfermline currently occupy 6th place on the Championship ladder and find themselves 5 points shy of their Tuesday night’s hosts, Ayr United, despite winning 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the second tier.
Recent wins against Arbroath 2-0, Queen of the South 2-0 and Partick Thistle 5-1 should give the visitors belief in getting a result of sorts at Ayr on Tuesday night, but all of the three aforementioned victories were achieved on home turf at their East End Park, which is where 4 of their total of 5 wins have been recorded so far this season.
Away from home is a different story – Dunfermline have managed to collect just 1 win on their travels to date which was a 3-0 win at bottom club, Partick Thistle, while their overall away record of 1-2-3 6/7 includes defeats at Arbroath, Dundee United and Alloa Athletic, so they could well struggle at Ayr this evening.
In addition, the bigger picture shows us that Dunfermline have won just 1 of their last 10 matches on the road in the Championship.
