Key Players

- Tomi Adeloye is their most dangerous player with three of their last six goals.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers make Ayr United the 2.25 favorites to secure the win while Morton are 3.1 to get the better of the South Ayrshire club.
- Both Teams To Score, which is priced at 1.83, looks good enough to get behind.
- The Over 2.5 Goals market, at 2.15, also tempts as both have tended to score a few and concede a few recently.
Prediction
- Ayr United has to be favored to win Saturday’s Championship play-off race clash with Greenock Morton at Cappielow, but the home side could make it interesting enough to play the double chance bet.
- Scott Brown has certainly stamped his identity onto the club since taking over in January 2024, although his recent contract extension is probably more due to the success his high-pressing, wide attacking style has enjoyed since the start of the year.
- Ayr United will probably come out on top, given their superior league position, form and away record, but there is enough about this game to suggest they might not be able to take all three points.
