Out of a mainly available squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Stranraer gaffer Chris Aitken to contend with. 1 (Stranraer) won’t be playing here.
We feel that in this game, Falkirk have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
At the same time, Stranraer won’t find it easy to get shooting opportunities but do we see them being dangerous at times, too.
Our selection here is for a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Falkirk when all’s said and done.
Looking at the bookies’ prices in the 90 minute result market, victory for Falkirk is available for 1.17, going for a draw is 6.5 & putting your money on a victory for Stranraer gets 12. These are the most competitive bets on offer at the moment.
