LWWWDL

Montrose will be hoping for a better result after a 1-0 League One defeat last time out to Stirling Albion.

Kieran Offord (92') scored for Stirling Albion.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Montrose haven’t conceded. The facts show that Montrose have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 11 goals along the way. Previous results aside, we’ll just have to find out if that trend will be replicated in this match.

Leading up to this clash, Montrose:

• have left without a victory over Falkirk in their last 7 matches in the league.
• are unbeaten in their previous 4 league matches at home.

Falkirk

WDWWWW 📈

Falkirk will go into this meeting after a 4-1 League One win as they beat Edinburgh City in their previous match.

The only scorer from Falkirk was Callumn Morrison (31', 45', 61', 81'). Momodou Sambou (90') scored for Edinburgh City.

A succession of outstanding performances by the Falkirk defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their previous 6 outings overall. Over that same period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 13.

Taking a look at their past results, Falkirk:

• have not been beaten by Montrose when they've played them away from home in the last 3 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their previous 19 away league matches. An amazing run.
