Recent respective form guides

Falkirk's dreadful home form has resulted in just one victory and one draw from their last six played. While the Bairns have scored four, a worringly large nine have been leaked at the other end.

Aberdeen's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous seven goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Falkirk find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 17 points. Aberdeen see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 29 points from their 24 games played so far,
