Recent respective form guides
Ayr United need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Honest Men have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Rovers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 8 against.
Ayr Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 3 points from 6 matches. Raith Rovers are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 12 points from 6 games.
