Ayr v Inverness

Few expected newly promoted side Ayr to mount a serious title bid this season, but after 15 games, that is exactly what we are seeing from the relative minnows.

Led by the prolific Lawrence Shankland, Ayr absolutely anialated fellow title rivals Dundee United last week - winning 5-0 away from home. Anyone who wasn't taking them serious certainly should be now. With a 55% shot ratio this season, they definitely aren't well out in front, although their 64% shots-on-target ratio does leave them up there with Ross County.

This week's opponets are Inverness, and they have been nothing but disappointing this season. Their shot tally reads 161-155 - just 51%, while their on-target efforts are barely any better - 59-53, or 53%. They are a full 11 points behind Ayr in the table, and have drawn far too many games this campaign already - 10 of their 15 games have seen the points shared!

Ayr come into this in great form - six clean sheets in seven matches, and have won 11 of their last 16 matches. Inverness have lost just once in 15, but on the same metric have won just twice in 12.

All the data suggests Ayr should be decent favourites in this one, and prices of 11/10 look appealing for a home win on Friday night.
