Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Ayr United

Wednesday, 17th Feb 2010

The Pars have won ten of the last dozen league meetings. Ayr won at Somerset Park in December but their form since has been poor.

Dunfermline v Ayr United

Saturday`s visitors to East End Park are Ayr United.  The Somerset Park side have not been too successful since their promotion to the First Division for this season.  They have collected only 12 points from 19 matches.  Their fixture on Saturday succumbed to the weather but they played Queen of the South on Tuesday night only to lose 3-0..

Dunfermline and Ayr United have met in 79 league games; the Pars have won 33 to Ayr`s 25, 21 have been drawn.
