Falkirk play host to Stirling Albion at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bairns are clearly on top, winning 16 and drawing 7 of the 25 games played.
The last time the two teams met at Falkirk was back in August 2004, over five years ago, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-3 thriller, in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.

Falkirk's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bairns have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Falkirk see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division One, showing a record of 3 points from their 2 games played so far, Stirling Alb. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 1 points from 2 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Falkirk at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Bairns will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
