📏 Form Guide
Falkirk
LDLWLL
Falkirk will be wanting a better result here after the 3-0 Premiership losing effort in their last game against Hearts.
In that match, Falkirk managed 34% possession and 4 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. Hearts had 12 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Frankie Kent (29'), Cammy Devlin (34') and Blair Spittal (86') scored for Hearts.
Matches involving Falkirk have proved to be engaging ones of late with a lot of goalmouth action being a real hallmark. Over their past half dozen games, the sum total of 20 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 6 of those being chalked up by Falkirk. That pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this next game, though.
Coming into this contest, Falkirk have left without a victory over Rangers in their last 3 league matches.
Rangers
WWLLLL 📉
Since being beaten in their last game against Hibernian in Premiership competition, Rangers will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, Rangers had 72% possession and 22 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. The only player to score for Rangers was Thelo Aasgaard (41'). For their opponents, Hibernian had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target. Martin Boyle (5') and Dane Scarlett (89') scored for Hibernian.
Rangers have been a threat going forward in their most recent fixtures, scoring 15 times in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Rangers can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings.
Their past results show that Rangers:
- remain undefeated by Falkirk when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
- haven’t won away from home in the past 2 matches in the league.

📋 Team News: Falkirk
We are thinking that The Bairns will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 system featuring Nicky Hogarth, Connor Allan, Coll Donaldson, Liam Henderson, Sam Hart, Brad Spencer, Dylan Tait, Kyrell Wilson, Finn Yeats, Calvin Miller and Ben Broggio.
📰 Team News: Rangers
Rangers boss Danny Röhl has not got a full squad to pick from. Ryan Naderi (Muscle injury) and Derek Cornelius (Muscle injury) miss out here.
We believe The Gers seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Jack Butland, Dujon Sterling, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Fernandez, Tuur Rommens, Connor Barron, Thelo Aasgaard, Oliver Antman, Mohamed Diomande, Mikey Moore and Youssef Chermiti.
✨ Prediction
We’re thinking that Falkirk are certainly able to put one past this Rangers team, however a single goal probably won’t quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We’re going for a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Rangers when the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
