Recent respective form guides

Aberdeen's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Dons have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Aberdeen see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 34 points from their 33 games played so far, Falkirk find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 28 points.
