Ayr United, Recent FormWhen Ayr United last played in the league they faced Queen's Park and produced an outstanding 5-2 away win.
Lee Bullen, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 14 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
On an individual basis, Logan Chalmers will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Ayr United's last 6 league games.
Raith Rovers, Recent FormThe Raith Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Airdrieonians recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.
Manager Ian Murray will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Goalscorer Lewis Vaughan will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Raith Rovers.
The 1-0 victory which Ayr United recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Somerset Park, The Rovers have been unable to break through the Ayr Utd defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Raith have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Ayr Utd.
In the league, Ayr Utd has a good track record when they host Raith, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
With no real injury worries, Ayr Utd manager Lee Bullen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Raith manager Ian Murray has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
