History of the Stranraer v Ayr United fixture

Stranraer prepare to entertain Ayr United at Stair Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning 37.93 of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stair Park was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Stranraer's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While The Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 24 have been leaked at the other end.

Ayr Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Stranraer find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 29 games have yielded only 13 points. Ayr Utd. are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 58 points from 29 games.
