Dunfermline vs Ayr Utd
📖 The Preview
Ayr have been absolutely flying lately, eight wins on the spin is no joke, but Dunfermline have home advantage and their own solid form, and that combination feels like enough to nick this one. The head-to-head record favours Ayr, but home ground counts for something, and with both teams expected to find the net and goals coming freely, Dunfermline edge it 2-1. Ayr grab one back and make it nervy late on, but the Pars hold on to take the three points in front of their own fans.
