Airdrieonians v Ayr United : Championship match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 26th Oct, 15:00 BST, Penny Cars Stadium, Airdrie

The Championship is the focus for both Airdrieonians and Ayr United on Saturday afternoon, as managers Rhys McCabe and Scott Brown battle it out at the Penny Cars Stadium. For each and every Championship fixture, KickOff dives into the statistics for all of the biggest markets. Important stats, including head to head (H2H) results, are then brought forward alongside odds.


Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It's not the news we want to be reporting, but it's all-but impossible to predict a high-scoring affair here. The stats suggest Airdrieonians and Ayr United both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think they're probably right and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals feels like the right bet on this match.

Goal Statistics

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Airdrieonians fans, as should a 5 Championship matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Ayr United of late. It has been 6 Championship matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.3 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday afternoon against Airdrieonians.
