Falkirk vs Hearts Predictions

• Falkirk have failed to score in their last three matches.
• Hearts have already triumphed 3-0 against the Bairns when they met at Tynecastle in September.
• The Jambos have suffered just one defeat in their 16 league matches this term.

Jambos’ title push is back in the groove

Hearts’ chances of winning this season’s Scottish Premiership received a massive boost when they claimed a 2-1 win at Celtic last week, but the Jambos cannot afford to take their foot off the pedal and they should claim three more valuable points when they head to Falkirk on Saturday.

Derek McInnes’ side have won all three of their games against the Old Firm this term and have an appointment with Rangers at Tynecastle next week, but they still have to keep on winning the bread-and-butter games if they are to celebrate their first title success since 1960.

With a single defeat to their name, the signs are good that they can kick on again after ending a four-game winless run at Parkhead, and they fact they have already beaten the Bairns 3-0 in a reverse fixture should also stand them in good stead.

Lack of goals a concern for Bairns

Falkirk gained promotion to the Scottish top flight last season and will have been encouraged by a decent start which should mean a top-six finish is a realistic aim for the rest of the campaign.

They have suffered just one home defeat in eight league games, but five of those have been draws and it is difficult to fancy a team who have failed to find the net in their last three outings, so go for an away win with a 2-0 Hearts success of potential interest to those looking for a correct-score bet.
