Ayr United will try to complete a perfect Premier Sports Cup group stage when they host Alloa at Somerset Park on Saturday, July 25.
Gary Naysmith’s side have already beaten Stranraer, Falkirk and Edinburgh City, which means they are already top of Group G with three wins from three. A fourth straight victory would give Ayr United four wins from four and finish the group stage in the strongest possible position.
What Ayr United need
The task is straightforward: beat Alloa and finish the last group-stage fixture in Group G with a perfect record. Ayr United have already done the hard work, but this match still matters because the result could affect where they land in the next-round draw.
A seeded position would help Ayr United avoid Scotland’s European entrants, so there is more on the line than simple group-stage bragging rights. Even with qualification effectively secured by their form, Saturday offers a chance to make sure the reward is as favourable as possible.
Why the match matters
The Premier Sports Cup format means group-stage position can shape what comes next, and that is especially relevant for Ayr United after a strong start. They have been efficient in Group G and now have the chance to turn that into a cleaner route forward.
For the Honest Men, the aim is not only to keep the winning run going but to finish the first stage with momentum. A perfect record would underline the job done so far and strengthen their place in the draw for the next round.
Ticket details
Tickets for Somerset Park are priced at £15 for adults, £10 for concessions and £5 for children. With the group stage down to its final game for Ayr United, the focus now turns to whether they can make it four wins from four.
