Head-to-Head
Partick have won 4 of the last 5 meetings between the clubs, including a 2-0 win when they hosted Ayr in the League Cup 2025 three months ago and, according to our Ayr United vs Partick Thistle prediction, they remain the team to beat in this fixture.
Key Players
- Mark Wilson has had an instant effect on Partick since being appointed as head coach in May 2025, introducing a possession-based system that is true to principle, rather than circumstance, and making sure they build up controlled from deep, with a deep pivot.
- They will be looking to Mark McKenzie for his leadership and experience at the front, as the 5-goal scorer in 16 Championship appearances has been a threat for them all season.
- Partick will rely on the creativity of Logan Chalmers, their 6-goal top scorer.
