This has to be one of the most one-sided rivalries in the Championship, with Hamilton enjoying four consecutive victories over Ayr as part of a 17-match unbeaten run against their near-neighbours in the top-flight. Their coach charges hardly come into this contest in the greatest of shape either, having lost seven times in eight league games.
Under 2.5 goals have been netted in 14 of the previous 17 Ayr home matches in the Championship, so fans of Ayr have had to put up with both a lack of entertainment and poor results. Supporters following Hamilton on the road have endured a similar experience, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten second-tier games.
Hamilton have been rock-solid defensively over the course of their previous six Championship matches, conceding just a single goal on the way to collecting 17 points from a possible 18. Given that both teams have found the net in just one of the last nine league games involving Ayr, any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.

Hamilton have secured an impressive 33 points from the last 35 available in the Championship, with the coach charges winning all six of their games on the road during this period. The form of Ayr could not be much more contrasting, with their previous 11 matches at this level resulting in no wins, four draws and eight defeats.

0-1FT



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

这将是冠军赛中最一边倒的对手之一，汉密尔顿连续四次战胜艾尔，这是他们在顶级联赛中与近邻的17场不败纪录的一部分。他们的教练也几乎没有进入这场比赛的最佳状态，在8场联赛中输了7场。
在之前的17场主场比赛中，有14场的进球都在2.5以下，所以艾尔队的球迷不得不忍受缺少娱乐和糟糕的结果。在客场跟随汉密尔顿的球迷也经历了类似的经历，他们在过去的10场二线比赛中有8场的进球都不到2.5个。
在过去的六场冠军赛中，汉密尔顿的防守一直坚如磐石，他们只丢了一球，从可能的18分变成了17分。考虑到两支球队在最近九场涉及艾尔的比赛中只在一场比赛中进球，任何偏离这一脚本的行为都会让人有点吃惊。

汉密尔顿在过去的35场比赛中获得了令人印象深刻的33分，教练在这段时间内赢得了他们所有的6场客场比赛。艾尔的表现与之前的11场比赛形成了鲜明的对比，他们在这个级别的比赛中没有胜利，4平8负。
