Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Annan Athletic & Ayr United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
4-3-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Ayr United when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 13-13 (scored/conceded).
Annan Athletic have less rest than Ayr United in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League Cup game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Galabank. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Ayr United have had more rest.
