Falkirk

WWWLWD

Falkirk will play in this match following on from a 1-1 Championship draw against Ayr United.

The only player to score from Falkirk was Sean Mackie (44'). Ethan Walker (90') was the scorer for Ayr United.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that much respect should be given to the Falkirk backline. Falkirk have given the opposition little, resulting in the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous six games standing at 2. We will see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Taking a look at their past results, Falkirk:

• haven't lost in the league to Raith Rovers in their previous 2 matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches at home.

Raith Rovers

In the game prior to this, Raith Rovers drew 1-1 in the Championship tie with Airdrie United.

The only scorer from Raith Rovers was Jamie Gullan (41'). Chris Mochrie (19') was the scorer for Airdrie United.

A succession of very capable showings from the Raith Rovers defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their previous 6 fixtures overall. Over that same period, their forwards have scored 10.

Their past results show that Raith Rovers:

• haven't beaten Falkirk in away games against them for the last 3 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their previous 4 league matches away from home.

ℹ️ Team News: Raith Rovers

Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, there is just the one fitness problem for the Raith Rovers manager Barry Robson to be concerned about. Callum Smith (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be playing here.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Falkirk should really score a couple of goals when they line up against Raith Rovers, who may well find it hard to score themselves.

We reckon that it will be a controlled 2-0 winning margin for Falkirk after 90 minutes.
