Ayr United
- Gary Naysmith has led Ayr United for over a year since 1st July 2026, and he has been working with a 4-4-2 system that gets the ball wide and forward as quickly as possible, with set-piece strength and an ability to press in the opposition's half.
- Ayr are seventh in the table after 11 games with 12 points, while Queen's Park are tenth with seven points from 12 games.
- Therefore, Ayr have the better form in the league, but they have a mixed record of one win, two draws and three defeats in their six home games so far in the Championship.
Queen's Park
- Sean Crighton has been the man in charge of Queen's Park since 15th May 2025, and he has got the Spiders playing in a very compact and vertical way through the midfield.
- However, the visitors have lost four of their last five matches and are on a two-game losing streak, so the Spiders won't have the best confidence levels going into this clash.
Head-to-Head
- Ayr United have won one of the last two Championship head-to-head meetings between these sides (the other ended even).
- Ayr have failed to win their last two home games against Queen's Park.
Key Players
- Ben Summers leads Ayr's scoring in the Championship with a solitary goal in eight games, but Owen Stirton has notched two of their last five and looks the sharper finisher.
- Michael Ruth has two goals in the same eight games for Queen's Park, but Aidan Connolly has scored two of their last three goals and he is the main goal threat.
Betting Insights
- Ayr United are the 1.71 favorites here, with the away side at 4.3 and the draw at 3.46.
- Ayr have conceded seven goals in six home Championship matches, while Queen's Park have conceded ten in the same number of away games.
- This makes both teams to score a favorable option at 1.84 and over 2.5 goals at 1.94 could also come in if this is as open as we hope.
Prediction
Ayr United won away from home 2-0 against Queen's Park in the Championship just five weeks ago, and while we can't see it being that comfortable on Saturday, we are backing the Honest Men to edge out what could be an exciting contest at Somerset Park.
