Ayr could edge an entertaining encounter at Alloa

Ladbrokes League One
BBC Alba, 4.10pm Sunday

Ayr United have been the great entertainers of Scottish football this season and there's no reason to expect anything different against Alloa in this key Ladbrokes League One showdown.

The Somerset Park side have rattled in 48 goals in just 17 away matches - more than they have scored at home - but their defence has been far from watertight.

Former Aberdeen striker Lawrence Shankland is a loss through suspension, but there is plenty of firepower in the United team including Craig Moore and Michael Moffat.

Alloa are likely to contribute to an entertaining game too with their playoff spot secured, but Ian McCall's men are in greater need of points and they can win at the Indodrill Stadium.

Recommendation
Ayr to win and over 2.5 goals
