Falkirk prepare to entertain St. Johnstone at Ochilview (Temporary) on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bairns are clearly on top, having won 22 and lost only 9 of the 43 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ochilview (Temporary) was less than a year ago, in February 2003, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Bairns's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past St Johnstone. Home Win
