Falkirk

DLWLDL

Falkirk will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 3-1 Premiership losing effort in their last game against Celtic.

In that match, Falkirk had 45% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Falkirk was Kyrell Wilson (70'). Celtic got 14 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Daizen Maeda (30', 83') and Kieran Tierney (44') scored for Celtic.

Falkirk have been conceding pretty frequently recently, although they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Falkirk have been punished defensively in 5 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 5 of those games. Regardless, we must now wait to see if the trend will be maintained in this next game.

Analysis of their past results shows that Falkirk:

• have not lost a league tie with Motherwell in their previous 5 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

Motherwell

LLDLLW

Motherwell head into the clash following on from a 2-3 Premiership win with the eclipse of Rangers in their previous match.

In that match, Motherwell managed 49% possession and 9 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Motherwell, the scorers were Lukas Fadinger (16') and Emmanuel Longelo (25', 90'). Rangers had 16 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Youssef Chermiti (51') and Nicolas Raskin (70') scored for Rangers.

The stats tell the story, and Motherwell have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 13 goals in all. Defensively, Motherwell have clearly had some problems.

Their prior results show that Motherwell:

• have not emerged victorious against Falkirk in games played away from home for the previous 6 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• haven't been defeated by Falkirk when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.

📰 Team News: Falkirk

In all likelihood, The Bairns should employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Nicky Hogarth, Keelan Adams, Connor Allan, Lewis Neilson, Leon McCann, Brad Spencer, Dylan Tait, Ben Broggio, Finn Yeats, Calvin Miller and Barney Stewart.

📰 Team News: Motherwell

We are inclined to think that The Steelmen appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Calum Ward, Tom Sparrow, Paul McGinn, Stephen Welsh, Stephen O'Donnell, Lukas Fadinger, Elliot Watt, Elijah Just, Callum Slattery, Emmanuel Longelo and Tawanda Maswanhise.

⚡ Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Motherwell and Falkirk should both be able to score here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.
