Airdrie Utd. prepare to entertain Ayr United at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Diamonds are clearly on top, having won 43 and lost only 14 of the 72 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2009, with Ayr Utd. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the The Diamonds in an Scottish League Play-Offs (Lvls 2&3) match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Airdrie Utd. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Diamonds will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
