After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Falkirk and East Fife in this fresh League One season. Read our match preview!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Falkirk form and stats
The first League One game here at Falkirk Community Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Falkirk's home game statistics were 10 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 14 games.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Forfar Athletic in the League One last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Montrose and winning 3-1.
Early season league goal statistics from Falkirk's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
East Fife form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the League One ended in defeat. Last season East Fife had these away match statistics: Played 14; won 6, drew 3 and lost 5.
Fife's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Montrose that finished 2-2. A 1-3 defeat away at Cove Rangers before that.
Drawing 2-2 against Montrose after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager D. Young needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
1 goal so far away for East Fife, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
