Prediction: 1-1
St Johnstone
A spot in the Scotland FA Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Ayr United and St. Johnstone face each other at Somerset Park on Saturday afternoon. Ayr United have been producing fine displays in the Championship of late, with the team looking pretty solid at the back. Since the Honest Men are likely to rely on their solid defence against St. Johnstone, a low-scoring affair is on the horizon.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to build on a 1-0 win over Aberdeen, where they produced a great defensive performance. Anyhow, when it comes to upcoming FA Cup game, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous three meetings between the two clubs in all competitions.
