Ayr United, Recent FormThe Ayr United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Dundee recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.
Lee Bullen will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Somerset Park. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at Somerset Park, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
On an individual basis, Dipo Akinyemi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 15 goals in Ayr United's 19 league games this season.
Hamilton Academical, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Hamilton Academical players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Raith Rovers.
Manager John Rankin will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 14, and picked up a meagre 0 points. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 4 games in a row. They have shown some defensive frailties on the road of late, having given away at least 1 goal in 9 of their past 10 away league matches, making points very hard to come by.
Serious concerns will be mounting for The Accies, having gone without a win in their last 8 league games and lost the last 6 in a row.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-3 win for Ayr United.
Ayr Utd will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Accies, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 22 meetings between the two.
Both teams will be looking for a breakthrough in this league fixture, with the last 4 meetings at Somerset Park ending in a draw and a share of the spoils. However, Hamilton will arguably be feeling more confident having not lost against Ayr Utd on their last 5 visits.
With no real injury worries, Ayr Utd manager Lee Bullen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Hamilton manager John Rankin has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
