Morton are one of the least productive teams in the Championship and are unlikely to break down the defence of an opponent like Ayr. We believe that the hosts will be able to score one or two goals and then calmly see out the match to victory.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.73
Bet on corners
We believe that the opponents in this match will rely on defense, so it is unlikely that we should count on a large number of corners.
Our prediction is total under 10.5 corners for 1.72
