Ayr United league form has been blowing hot and cold all season; they have been playing their best football this season in the Cup games so far.
Ayr Utd had a great result last Saturday, with a well deserved 1-1 draw playing away against Premier League team Inverness CT.
This Scottish Cup game now has to be replayed on Monday 16th Jan, with the game now going ahead Live on Sky, only two days after Saturdays home league match against Partick Thistle, it has been rumoured that Ayr United will now be resting a few 1st team players, to keep them fresh for Mondays Scottish Cup replay.
Partick Thistle
Away Form: DDDWWDWLW
Goals For: 20 Goals Against 13: (9 games)
League Position: 3rd Place Points 36
Partick Thistle have been playing better football away from home this season, they have only lost once on their travels, and that defeat was against 2nd top team Morton.
Since the New Year Partick Thistle have played 3 games and won 3 scoring 4 times and only conceding 1 goal, so their confidence will now be high after a 1-0 away win in last Saturdays Scottish Cup game against Stirling Albion, who are currently the best form team in the Scottish 2nd Division.
Partick Thistle will now play away to the winners of the Ayr United vs Inverness CT game, so this Saturdays game could be a trial run to next months Scottish Cup fixture.
Partick Th will see this league game as a must win game, as they are currently 7 points behind 2nd place Morton who will be playing high flying league leaders Gretna on Saturday, so with the top two playing each other Partick Thistle will want to try and gain maximum points to close the gap.
This season :
10/09/05 Ayr United 2 Partick Thistle 2 H-T 2-1
29/10/05 Partick Thistle 1 Ayr United 0 H-T 1-0
BEST BETTING TIP :
