The Scottish Championship returns to action as Queen's Park battles it out with Ayr at the Ochilview Park.

Queen's Park will head into this game on the back of an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Dundee the last time out in the league. This defeat would mean that their winless streak was extended to 2 games in a row. This shows a recent loss of form and focus and Queen's park will be concerned about this going into this game.

Ayr on the other hand will head into this game in a very fine form which has seen them on a 3 game unbeaten run, with 2 victories and one draw. In their last league game, Ayr cruised to a 5-0 thrashing over Cove Rangers and they will be looking for a repeat of that result here. On the attack, Ayr have been very brilliant as they have scored a total of 46 goals this season. This makes them the best attack in the league and they have shown that they have the ability to tear open opposition defense over and over again. At the back, they have been equally solid and they have given opposition forces very little to chew on. They are just one point behind league leaders, Queen's Park and this game is crucial as they could close the one point lead and potentially go in front themselves.

Looking at the records have shown that Ayr have the clear advantage here and are the team in the finest form. Ayr currently hold a 100% record over Queen's park in their last 5 games. These meetings saw Ayr cruise to 4 victories and one goalless draw. They scored an impressive total of 16 goals in that time period and they will be very confident of their chances here. Put into perspective, Ayr are on a 2 game winning streak over Queen's Park and are also on a 5 game unbeaten run over them. We are backing Ayr here as we expect them to completely avoid defeat in this game by either securing a victory or by earning a draw.
