History of the Airdrie United v Clyde fixture

Airdrie Utd. prepare to entertain Clyde at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 30 of the 81 previous games, with the The Diamonds winning just 29.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 2-4 winners in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Diamonds have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Clyde's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Bully Wee's have scored 9 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 11.

Airdrie Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 8 points from their 7 games played so far, Clyde are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 8 points from 7 matches.
