Falkirk vs Ayr Predictions

Both sides are ranked as 3rd in their respective divisions, but the visitors are competing at a higher tier. This said I see value in backing Ayr United to qualify for the semi-finals. They just won a big match against Morton in the Championship 3-1.

Ayr United won the most recent head to head encounter 3-0 in July 2021 (League Cup).

Falkirk Form

To reach the quarter-finals, Falkirk eliminated Wick Academy (6-0), Alloa Athletic (2-1), and Darvel (5-1). Gary Oliver has been the most efficient player in the FA Cup, scoring three goals.

The Bairns are competing in Scottish League One this season with decent success. They sit in 2nd place after 27 rounds with 54 points, being one of the main candidates to get promoted.

The streak of three straight league victories against Alloa (1-0), Airdrie (3-1), and Peterhead (5-0) was interrupted last weekend with a loss to table leaders Dunfermline (0-2).

All players are ready to make an appearance on Monday.

Ayr Form

Ayr United also had an easy road to the FA Cup quarter-finals. They were victorious against Pollok (1-0), Cove Rangers (3-0), and Elgin City (4-1).

The last time Ayr competed in the Premiership was in season 1977/78. This year they have a chance for a comeback to the elite, sitting in 3rd place in the Championship and being serious playoff candidates.

Ayr United’s most recent appearance last weekend included a smooth 3-1 victory against another promotion candidate Greenock Morton.

Ayr Team News

There are no injured or ineligible players for Ayr United.

Verdict

Falkirk v Ayr

Falkirk’s confidence is shaken after losing the derby game to Dunfermline Athletic last weekend. Ayr United have been consistent in the tier-two league for a couple of years now.
