Recent respective form guides

Falkirk's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Bairns have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of St. Mirren is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Buddies have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Falkirk find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 35 games have yielded only 28 points. St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 35 matches.
