Falkirk vs Ayr United prediction 13.03.2023

• Competition: Scottish Cup
• Date: 13th March 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Falkirk Community Stadium

Both Falkirk and Ayr United will be fighting for a place in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup when they face each other on Monday night. John McGlynn's side beat Darvel 5-1 in the fifth round, while the visitors defeated Elgin City 4-1 to progress.

The hosts are second in League One and come to this game on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Dunfermline Athletic, which ended their run of 11 games without defeat in all competitions. The fact that it was the first time in the last twelve games that they didn't score a goal shows how good Falkirk have been offensively in the last few months. In this period, they have finished only one game without conceding a goal, which means that the probability of them leaving this game without a clean sheet is quite high.

Ayr United, meanwhile, are in the hunt for promotion to the Championship, but are not having an easy time when it comes to getting results (one win in their last four games). Nevertheless, the visitors should be encouraged by the fact that they have emerged victorious from each of their last two encounters with Falkirk.

Falkirk vs Ayr United Betting Tips: Team to win or Draw

Although Ayr United play in a higher division, it's risky to bet on them as they have been very inconsistent lately.

Since this match takes place in a stadium where Falkirk has turned into a real fortress in recent weeks (five wins from the last five matches), a bet the hosts causing another cup upset would be a good option.
