Albion Rovers form and stats

Albion was eliminated in the group stage last season in the League Cup.

Albion Rovers have collected 17 points from their League Two home games so far after 5-2-5. It's trouble wherever Albion are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The fans are hoping that Albion will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the League Two game against Edinburgh City. A League Two defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Edinburgh City.

A decent goal production from Albion in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 12 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Albion defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ayr United form and stats

Ayr was sent out of League Cup in the group stage last season.

6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. That’s the product of Ayr United playing as the away team in the Championship this season.

The attacking players of Ayr have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 278 minutes.

There might be some fixture complaints from Ayr as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Dundee (0-2). A 0-2 defeat away at Dundee before that.

Ayr has another fixture away, a League Cup game, against Hamilton Academical in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Ayr United are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 20 times in 13 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Ayr have conceded 21 goals in their away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - zero - eight (Albion wins - draws - Ayr United wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
