Clyde form and stats

Clyde, who have the fewest scored goals (6) at home in League One, have collected 7 points from their League One home games so far after 2-1-2. Clyde has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Lennon and the players.

Clyde haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 236 minutes ago. D. Goodwillie scored that one.

Clyde faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cove Rangers (0-3).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Montrose (0-5).

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 ten games. Clyde has won four of these, drawn two and lost four.

Clyde has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Clyde have conceded 12 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Falkirk form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat. Two points from the last two away games for Falkirk, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

A. Keena was the last player to score for the away team. Falkirk haven't scored a league goal in the last 196 minutes.
