Queen's Park's equivalent run reads less convincingly. Seven wins from twenty, with 24 scored and 25 conceded, shows a side that's had its share of rough patches, including some heavy defeats.
Ayr Utd look the steadier side across this stretch, though neither record is flawless.

A fixture with plenty of history
These sides have faced off many times down the years and the pattern isn't always clear. There have been several tight draws in recent seasons, including a couple of 0-0 and 1-1 scorelines, alongside some genuinely one-sided results in both directions.

The most recent meeting back in September went 2-0 to Ayr Utd, continuing a run where they've had the upper hand lately. Older meetings, though, include big away wins for both sides, so this fixture doesn't always go to the stronger team on the day.
The table shows a gap, but it's not huge
In the current Championship standings, Ayr Utd sit seventh with 12 points from 11 games. Queen's Park are down in tenth with just 7 points from the same number of matches.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Dunfermline | 9 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 7/5 | 14 |
| 7 | Ayr Utd | 11 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 10/12 | 12 |
| 8 | Arbroath | 11 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 7/17 | 11 |
| 9 | Morton | 11 | 2 | 1 | 8 | 9/18 | 7 |
| 10 | Queen's Park | 11 | 2 | 1 | 8 | 6/18 | 7 |
What stands out is Queen's Park's scoring record, just six goals in 11 league games, against Ayr Utd's ten. That's a notable gap in attacking output, even if both sides have conceded their share.
Queen's Park's lack of goals in the league is the bigger concern heading into this one.

Could this one stay tight?
Given how often recent meetings between these two have finished level or low-scoring, there's a case for a cagey affair. But the head-to-head record also includes some high-scoring games, so that pattern isn't guaranteed to repeat.
Ayr Utd's better recent form and home advantage point towards them edging it, but Queen's Park have shown in the past they can turn up and get a result against this opponent, even from a tougher position in the table.

It's not a guaranteed banker given how unpredictable this fixture has been historically, but the balance of evidence leans towards Ayr Utd getting the job done at home.
