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

Sat 13th Sep, 15:00 BST, Somerset Park, Ayr

Don Cowie will be hoping for a crucial away win in the Championship on Saturday afternoon, as he takes his Ross County side to the Somerset Park to visit Ayr United and Scott Brown. For every Championship fixture, KickOff delves into the stats for seventeen major betting markets. Meaningful stats, including head to head (H2H) results, are then given alongside odds from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Ayr United and Ross County will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Scott Brown or Don Cowie has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.29 equating to roughly a 77% probability.
