Arbroath, Recent FormThe Arbroath squad will want to put the 4-0 away thrashing they received from Partick Thistle firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence.
Manager Jim McIntyre will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.
A home win for Arbroath is just a distant memory, having not won at Gayfield Park in 6 games.
Ayr United, Recent FormThe Ayr United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 home defeat against Inverness CT, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Lee Bullen, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 10 games on the road.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Logan Chalmers has given the travelling Ayr United support something to shout about on the road.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Ayr United, losing 2-1 to Arbroath.
In each of the previous 3 matches against Arbroath, The Honest Men have let in at least one goal.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Arbroath has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Ayr Utd in 3 games.
With no real injury worries, Arbroath manager Jim McIntyre will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Ayr Utd manager Lee Bullen has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
