The visiting Falkirk side should be favourites in this visit to Clyde, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.
Clyde have less rest than Falkirk in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a League One game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Dumbarton, so at least Clyde are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Clyde form and stats
The story so far in the League One for Clyde at their home stadium (Broadwood Stadium) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Clyde with their four defeats in a row. Not since the East Fife game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 308 minutes without scoring a league goal. B. Cuddihy was the last player to find the net.
Clyde lost their last game at Dumbarton (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Raith Rovers.
This is expected to be a close game, with Clyde perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Clyde as a small favourite), we find eight games. Clyde has won three of these, drawn two and lost three.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Clyde, as the League One home game vs Montrose is only three days away.
A decent goal production from Clyde in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 11 league matches. 15 goals have been conceded.
Falkirk form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (48) in League One, are W4-D7-L1 on the road this term. That's in the League One. In general it has been a productive period now for Falkirk as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Clyde game have they lost an away game, meaning Falkirk has taken points from ten away matches in a row.
The Falkirk goalkeeper Robbie Mutch is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 218 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Falkirk had fun at their own home (Broadwood Stadium) last time out, beating Montrose 1-0. D. McManus scored. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against East Fife.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Falkirk playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Falkirk win, two draws and zero defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Falkirk now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A League One game at Raith Rovers is waiting in only three days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Falkirk have scored 16 goals in 12 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (9 so far).
Head 2 Head
