Falkirk – ST Johnstone

Match analysis

Falkirk host a struggling St Johnstone at the Falkirk Stadium, hoping to turn around a season that has seen them sit 11th with just two points from five games, having failed to win any and conceding seven goals while scoring only three. Johnstone arrive in seventh place, buoyed by seven points earned from two victories and a draw, yet their defensive record is equally porous, having let in nine goals and netted eight. The two sides have met only sparingly this campaign, but the gap in recent form is stark, with Falkirk yet to taste a win and Johnstone already demonstrating the ability to pick up points away from home. A draw would see Falkirk cling to the bottom, while a Johnstone slip would tighten the chase for a European spot.
