Best Tip: Partick to win

As training goes on this week and the Partick players ready themselves for this clash, the bookies are predicting success for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms. The The Energy Check Stadium hasn't been a successful away day for Ayr United in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
