History of the Falkirk v Dundee United fixture

Falkirk prepare to entertain Dundee United at The Falkirk Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 13 of the 31 previous games, with the Bairns winning just 12.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Falkirk Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2006, the Bairns carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
