Match Result Prediction: Ayr to Win
Arbroath has been without a defeat in the recent five outings but the team has registered only one victory in that duration. On the other hand, Ayr United have made the turns of wins and defeats previously, winning three of the last five. The Honest Men have also won two of the last three away outings in the league. In the H2Hs, Ayr United have conceded only one defeat in the previous five meetings while winning two of them.
Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes
Despite struggling with winning results recently, Arbroath has been on the scoring side in four of the last five league outings at home. However, the defence has not been favourable for them as they kept only one clean sheet in all hosting attempts since the start of November. On the other hand, Ayr United have not missed the target in any of the recent six attempts in different competitions. The previous leg of the teams this season ended with both teams scoring at the same time and we can expect a similar outcome in this game.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Ayr
Arbroath has been limited to only one goal in four of the previous five league attempts at home. Defensively, the team has conceded a total of 11 goals in that course. On the contrary, Ayr United have managed an average of two goals per game in the last five league outings. The Honest Men were also able to score twice in the last visiting H2H against the Red Lichties. Hence, we predict Ayr to bring a 1-2 lead before the final whistle blows in this game.

Arbroath Preview
After ending four consecutive games in draws, the Red Lichties arranged a narrow victory of 0-1 in the last game against league leaders Queen’s Park. Nevertheless, the team has found only five victories in the 29 attempts, along with 13 ties and stands in the eighth position on the table. Central midfielder Dylan Tait will miss out on this game due to a knee injury.
Ayr Preview
The Honest Men ended their winless pattern of the home outings previously with a 3-0 victory over Cove Rangers. A total of 14 wins and seven draws in the 30 league outings has helped the team stand in the third position on the points table. The head coach Lee Bullen will have zero players on the injury list ahead of this game.
