After five games we know a little more about the qualities of Alloa Athletic and Ayr United in this fresh Championship season. Read our match preview!
- Alloa Athletic has the most conceded goals (13) in Championship
- Ayr United has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Championship
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Alloa's stadium, Indodrill Stadium, has a artifical turf surface. Ayr United have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Ayr United when playing on artifical turf; 6 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from eleven matches. They have scored 17 goals in these games and conceded 16.
Alloa Athletic form and stats
Two Championship home games so far for Alloa Athletic, who are yet to win here at Indodrill Stadium. Only 1 point so far.
A. Trouten was the last player to score a league goal for Alloa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Alloa Athletic haven't scored in 207 minutes.
Alloa's previous game was a League Cup match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Hearts (after extra-time) (placed 2nd). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Alloa lost 0-3 at Hearts's place.
Early season league goal statistics from Alloa Athletic's 2 home games: 4 goals, 7 conceded.
Ayr United form and stats
The Championship season is young and Ayr United have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
182 minutes! That's how long the Ayr United goalkeeper Viljani Sinisalo and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Ayr, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Livingston. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Dundee in the Championship.
Ayr United lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Ayr did not look prepared in the first half against Livingston and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
Ayr United have the goal stats of 3-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Alloa two wins, one draw and Ayr United seven victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
