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

Sat 10th Jan, 15:00 BST, Somerset Park, Ayr

Saturday afternoon sees Scott Brown’s Ayr United and Rhys McCabe’s Airdrieonians go up against one another in a Championship clash at the Somerset Park. All statistics, including 20-game form for both teams and head to head (H2H) records, will change as you browse each of the 17 major markets via the tabs below. Odds and, of course, our algorithmic predictions will too.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's fairly unlikely that this game will have more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and stats align with KickOff's predictive algorithm on this one. Ayr United and Airdrieonians have seldom served up thrillers of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or in head-to-head clashes. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.33.
