We say: Ayr United 3-0 Elgin City

We believe that Ayr will simply be too strong for their opposition at home and will comfortably coast to a 3-0 victory. Ayr's attacking threat will likely be too much to handle for a lower-league side who have recently struggled to keep the opposition from their own level from scoring, leading them to once again suffer defeat.
