Ayr United form and stats

Ayr United must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Championship games here at Somerset Park.

The Ayr regulars enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Dundee and win 3-1. Akinyemi has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in four games in a row. Impressive!

In the game before, an away victory match versus Cove Rangers with a 2-1 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ayr United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 6 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Ayr United in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches.

Dundee form and stats

Dundee, who have the most conceded goals (8) in Championship, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Championship, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

Dundee lost away at Ayr United (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That loss was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points.

A 0-0 draw at Greenock Morton's stadium before that.

The attacking power of Dundee when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

This was the scoreline when the participants faced each other earlier this campaign; Ayr - Dundee 3-1. Ayr United-Dundee H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Ayr United five wins, Dundee four wins, one draw. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
