Ayr United (home)
- Ayr United have won just 1 of their 5 home games in the Championship 2026/2027 (W1, D2, L2).
- Ayr United are in poor form, picking up just 2 wins, a draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 in all competitions.
Partick Thistle (away)
- Partick Thistle have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions (W3, D1, L1).
- Partick have the edge as far as momentum is concerned, winning 3-0 at home to Arbroath and 2-1 at Livingston in their last 2 games, respectively.
- Mark Wilson's men average 1.00 away goal in the Championship 2026/2027, and have hit 4 on the road already, which is good enough to hurt Ayr United on the break.
Head-to-Head
- Partick Thistle are unbeaten in the last 5 head-to-head meetings with Ayr United (W3, D2).
- The Jags are in good form and look to have the psychological advantage, having beaten Ayr 1-0 just 5 weeks ago, while The Honest Men have failed to win their last 2 home games against them.
Partick Thistle
- Seb Drozd leads the way for Partick with 2 Championship 2026/2027 goals from 7 appearances.
- Ben Stanway is their top scorer from the bench with 2 of their 3 goals in the last 5.
Ayr United
Ben Summers has 1 goal in 8 in the league for Ayr, and Owen Stirton has 2 of their 5 in the last 5 , so take Stirton to ignite his team's frontline and potentially make the difference in this one.
Betting Insights
- Partick are the clear favorites here at 1.73, which seems a touch short, and Ayr United at 4.14 and the draw at 3.5 look a little too generous for this fixture.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.89 looks the best bet.
Prediction
- The Jags are therefore the likelier winners here, but there is enough about this fixture to suggest they won't stroll it.
- These two styles suit each other nicely and a compact game could ensue.
- Ayr score an average of 1.00 goals and concede 1.20 at Somerset Park, while Partick have scored 1.00 away from home and know they can hurt the hosts on the counter, so expect a tight match with the visitors holding the edge.
