Raith Rovers face a trip to Ayr United at Somerset Park, Ayr on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 36 and win only 14 of the 69 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 3 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Ayr United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Honest Men have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Rovers have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Ayr Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Two, showing a record of 43 points from their 32 games played so far, Raith Rovers are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 53 points from 32 games.
