🧠 Match Preview

Ayr Utd · Home

Ayr Utd have won two of their last five but failed to score in two of them, including home defeats to Partick (0-1) and Stenhousemuir (0-1). Their home results are mixed: a 3-2 win over Queen's Park (3-2) and a 1-1 draw with Dunfermline (1-1).

Raith Rovers · Away

Raith Rovers have won three of their last five, scoring 9 and conceding 4, with a 4-0 away win at Arbroath (4-0) and a 2-0 home win over Queen's Park (2-0). The latest H2H was a 2-0 Raith win (2-0), following a 3-0 Raith win (3-0).

Raith edge but draw fits

Raith Rovers have won the last two H2H meetings, 2-0 (2-0) and 3-0 (3-0), yet Ayr won the earlier one 2-1 (2-1). Ayr have failed to score in two of their last five, while Raith kept two clean sheets in five. The model gives Ayr 1.2 expected goals and Raith 1.27, a narrow gap that supports a tight, low-scoring contest. The evidence supports Draw.
