Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Partick Thistle & Falkirk face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

This arena has the surface grass, unlike Falkirk's home arena. The previous 16 games by the visitors on grass have given 8 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.

It's no vacation for neither Partick Thistle nor Falkirk as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
