Raith Rovers, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Dundee United will have left the Raith Rovers squad feeling a little deflated.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 matches, and playing at home this season, they have scored in 13 of their 14 games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Raith recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Ayr United, Recent FormAyr United will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Airdrieonians.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Ayr Utd recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Ayr United, Anton Dowds will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Raith Rovers came out on top, winning the match 1-2.
Raith have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Honest Men. Ayr Utd have a good attacking record away to The Rovers in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Stark's Park in the league, but Raith will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings there.
Lewis Vaughan will be looking forward to this meeting with Ayr Utd, the Raith player has found the net 4 times in the previous 3 league matches against them at Stark's Park.
With no real injury worries, Raith manager Ian Murray will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Ayr Utd manager Scott Brown has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
