History of the Falkirk v St. Mirren fixture

Falkirk prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Ochilview (Temporary) on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bairns are clearly on top, having won 45 and lost only 20 of the 88 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ochilview (Temporary) was earlier this season, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Falkirk have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the Bairns in those games, with 5 conceded.

The away form of St. Mirren is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. Buddies have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.

Falkirk's 50 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 4th position. St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 32 matches.

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. Mirren. Home Win
