Ayr United, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 4-4 draw against Raith Rovers will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Ayr United.
Their boss Lee Bullen is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Somerset Park.
They've had a terrible run of form at Somerset Park recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Anton Dowds will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Ayr United.
Dunfermline Athletic, Recent FormDunfermline Athletic manager James McPake will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Arbroath.
He will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 16 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form for Dunfermline recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Matty Todd is giving Dunfermline Athletic's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Dunfermline Athletic suffered the disappointment of a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Ayr United the last time they met in the league.
The last 3 matches between The Pars and Ayr Utd show that The Pars have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
In the league, Ayr Utd have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Dunfermline to Somerset Park.
With no real injury worries, Ayr Utd manager Lee Bullen will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Dunfermline manager James McPake has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
