Recent respective form guides
Ayr United's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Honest Men have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Stirling Alb.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the Binos, and 10 goals against.
Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 31 matches. Stirling Alb. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Two, picking up 42 from their 29 games so far.
