Ayr United form and stats

Ayr United was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the League Cup.

The story so far in the Championship for Ayr United at their home stadium (Somerset Park) is 5 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats.

A nice win for Ayr United last time playing, versus Partick Thistle. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with Muirhead (2) and Adeloye scoring for the victors.

1-1 away at Queen of the South before that.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Cup game versus Queen of the South in only three days. This game is also played here at Somerset Park.

Ayr United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 18 games. On the other hand, Ayr have conceded 25 goals.

Elgin City form and stats

Elgin City's mission in League Cup last season failed in the group stage.

Elgin City have only collected 13 points from their away games in the League Two, after 3-4-11 (18 played).

There might be some fixture complaints from Elgin as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-2 against Stranraer.

A 0-2 defeat away at Stranraer before that.

The attacking power of Elgin City when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 18 league matches away. In the opposite end, Elgin City have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - zero - one (Ayr wins - draws - Elgin City wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.
