Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may not be what the neutrals want to hear, but we're not predicting a high-scoring affair here. The statistics suggest Partick 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 that's a great shout and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals looks like a smart bet.
