Ayr United form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Ayr United, who have the fewest scored goals (10) at home in Championship, at their home stadium (Somerset Park) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Ayr have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 11 goals have been conceded.
Dundee form and stats
3 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Dundee, who have the most scored goals (21) away in Championship, playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Momentum is building for Dundee in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
Two travels in a row for Dundee, whose manager J. McPake could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Ayr United. A loss against St. Johnstone was the result prior to that, in a Scottish Cup home game.
Dundee are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 11 away games so far. The Dundee manager J. McPake has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
