We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Falkirk form and stats
Falkirk's struggle is real here at Falkirk Community Stadium with only 10 points collected from 10 League One games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-6. When Falkirk hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Falkirk, East Fife and Alloa Athletic), they have won 1 of 2 matches! It's trouble wherever Falkirk are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
The Falkirk fans got no joy from their last match, a League One game also here at Falkirk Community Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Clyde (placed 5th).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Cove Rangers (0-3).Falkirk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Falkirk defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Dumbarton form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their League One travels is 4 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. With the Dumbarton losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Dumbarton might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Airdrieonians proved too strong as Dumbarton slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at The C&G Systems Stadium.
A loss against Peterhead was the result prior to that, in a home game.Dumbarton are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Dumbarton have conceded 18 goals in these games. When Dumbarton is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 2 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against East Fife, Alloa Athletic and Dumbarton.
Head 2 Head
