Ayr Utd's record over a similar sample looks far sturdier: ten wins, two draws and eight defeats from 20 games, with 30 goals scored. It's not flawless form though, and they've lost three of their last five Championship away trips, so there's no guarantee of a comfortable night on the road.

Ayr Utd arrive with the better recent record, but their away form has had its own wobbles.

Comparative Team Statistics: Morton vs Ayr Utd

Head-to-head: recent meetings have been tight

The last five meetings between these two have gone draw, Ayr Utd win, draw, Ayr Utd win, draw. Morton haven't beaten Ayr Utd in any of the games in that recent sample, though plenty of them have finished level.

A share of the points wouldn't be out of character for this fixture.

League table: a big early gap

After seven games, Ayr Utd sit sixth with eight points, while Morton are down in tenth with just a single point to their name. Morton have also conceded 13 goals in that time against Ayr Utd's eight, underlining how much tougher their campaign has been so far.

Team news: light on detail this far out

With the match still a month away, there isn't much team news to go on yet. The only note passed on is a single yellow card for Ayr Utd's J. Bonnar, which doesn't tell us a great deal about who'll be available come kickoff.

How this one could play out

Morton's home matches have been leaky all season, with 13 goals shipped in seven league games, so there should be openings for Ayr Utd to exploit. Ayr Utd, though, have had their own defensive lapses away from home recently, so it needn't be one-way traffic.

Given how often these two have drawn lately, a cagey, low-key finish wouldn't be a surprise even with the gap in the table.
