Bairns in fine form

After last weekend’s goalless clash in the Scottish Cup, Falkirk bounced back brilliantly in their last match, thrashing Forfar Athletic 6-0 in League One, extending the Bairns unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games

Moreover, their average goals scored in their last four home ties is an impressive 3.25, netting 2.64 times overall this season. They’ve also let in just 5 goals so far this campaign, which is less than 0.5 goals per game.

Smokies struggle on the road

Arbroath also comes into this game in winning form, although not as convincingly as their upcoming hosts. The Red Lichties were 2-1 winners over Partick Thistle in the Championship- only their second win in their last nine matches.

Dick Campbell’s side hasn’t performed overly well on the road, as they’ve picked up one win in their last seven away days. Moreover, the club also struggles for points as they rarely score on the road, netting a measly eight goals for an average of 0.73 in eleven games. Moreover, they’ve conceded quite a few, letting in 15 goals on their travels and failing to keep a clean sheet in 82% of games.

Falkirk to progress

Even though they’re separated by one division, Falkirk comes into much better form than their upcoming opponents. The Bairns now boast the home advantage, with the club failing to lose any of their last four games at Falkirk Stadium.

We’re also going to back a 2-0 scoreline, as Falkirk has netted 2.64 goals at home this season, with the Red Lichties letting in an average of 1.36 on the road, as well as their last two losses ended up 2-0.
