💡 Prediction
Our assessment is that Hamilton Academical will likely be able to breach the defence of this Falkirk lineup, but one goal probably shouldn’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a 1-2 winning margin for Falkirk when the full-time whistle blows. Hopefully this is a good one.
