Ayr United vs Greenock Morton: match statistics
Statistical analysis suggests a closely contested match with a draw bias. Ayr United holds a higher league position (5th place), but they are in poor form with only 0.4 points per game in their last five matches and haven't won any of them. The hosts have a balanced home goal difference (-1), yet as many as 46% of their home matches end in a draw. Greenock Morton also draws frequently in away matches (43% of games), although their form is slightly better (0.6 PPG). The visitors score a similar number of goals away (1.14) as the hosts do at home (1.15), but they concede more (1.64 vs 1.23). Considering both teams' high draw rates and Ayr United's poor recent form, a draw appears to be the most likely outcome.
