The last time the two teams met at Falkirk was back in February 1996, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Falkirk's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Bairns have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Kilmarnock's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Killie's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.
Falkirk are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 18 matches. Kilmarnock's 26 points from 18 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
