History of the Clyde v Falkirk fixture

Falkirk face a trip to Clyde at Broadwood Stadium on Saturday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Bairns have won 27 of the 83 games compared to the host's 36 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

This promises to be an excellent test for the in-form Bairns, but one which I believe will end in stalemate. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Clyde 5 games since last home draw.
Falkirk 5 games since last defeat.
