Straining Clyde need to pull off a surprise victory when they host top team Falkirk in the next league game. It’s 9th vs 2nd and the home supporters will have low expectations.

Insights:
  • Clyde is in the worst form (0-1-5)
  • Falkirk have the most scored goals in the first half (14) in League One

Clyde and Falkirk should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Clyde form and stats

With 1 League One win, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Clyde are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Fountain of Youth Stadium) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Clyde it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Clyde shared the glory with Dunfermline Athletic in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. A disappointing finish for Clyde in their match versus Dunfermline Athletic as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Preceding that match was the home game against Airdrieonians that was lost 0-1.

Clyde are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games.
