Recent respective form guides
St. Johnstone have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Saints have scored 10, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Ayr Utd. is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Honest Men have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
St. Johnstone's 34 points from 21 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position. Ayr Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Bells Scottish Division One with a return of just 17 points from their 23 games thus far.
