Ayr United, Recent FormAyr United will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 0-0 result against Queen's Park last time out.
It's fair to say that manager Lee Bullen will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Lee Bullen will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.
On an individual basis, Dipo Akinyemi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 20 goals in Ayr United's 34 league games this season.
Raith Rovers, Recent FormThe Raith Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Greenock Morton recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.
Ian Murray will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 8 away games out of 17 this season, Murray will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
Results have been poor for Raith recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Lewis Vaughan will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Raith Rovers.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Ayr Utd have managed to keep a clean sheet against Raith in 4 of their previous 5 meetings.
Raith has a poor track record in the league when they visit Ayr Utd, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Ayr Utd manager Lee Bullen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Raith manager Ian Murray has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
