Dundee United v Ayr: Mark Walker's betting preview, TV details and tip

TV: BBC Scotland, 7.05pm Friday

Dundee United and Ayr are battling it out for the best-of-the-rest places in the Ladbrokes Championship and both teams should net at Tannadice.

With Ross County on the brink of claiming the title, securing second spot and an easier playoff run-in is key.

Ayr have had a terrible run since the turn of the year, but their injury situation has finally cleared and they have nothing to lose in the playoffs since they were massive underdogs to get there.

Both sides are capable of scoring with strikers Lawrence Shankland and Pavol Safranko in their line-ups.

Recommendation
