Falkirk
- Falkirk have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, including consecutive away wins in the league and cup.
- Back-to-back away wins for Falkirk last weekend put the Bairns sixth in the table with 36 points from 25 games in the 2025-2026 Premiership.
Dundee United
- Dundee United have won just one of their last five in all competitions (D2, L2) and have failed to win in their last three away fixtures.
- Dundee United have had an up-and-down season to sit eighth in the same table with 25 points from 24 matches, although the Terrors have won just once in their last five (D2, L2).
Head-to-Head
These two sides occupy mid-table positions in the top flight, but this fixture adds a little spice as recent promotees Falkirk look to show that they belong in the top-flight.
Key Players
- Barney Stewart has been in electric form of late, netting three of Falkirk’s last five goals, but Brian Graham is the Bairns’ top scorer in the Premiership this season with four goals from 19 appearances.
- Zachary Sapsford leads the way for United in the Premiership with six goals from 24 games.
Betting Insights
- Backing Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 seems a sensible play.
- Falkirk are 1.9 favorites with the bookmakers, but we believe there is enough value in backing Dundee United at 4.0 or the draw at 3.4.
Prediction
- John McGlynn has overseen an impressive campaign since taking over at Falkirk in May 2022, installing a high-tempo, high-pressing style of play that has been paying dividends in recent months.
- Dundee United are a different beast altogether, with Jim Goodwin bringing his shape-based, pragmatic system to Tannadice since taking over in March 2023.
- With Falkirk having superior form, the home advantage and a dominant record in this fixture (W2, D1, L0), we’re going with the Bairns to edge out their stubborn opponents in a closely contested match.
