Falkirk are not the type of side likely to go to Celtic Park on Saturday and simply shut up shop in search of a draw. In fact, John McGlynn’s men will almost certainly stick to their attacking principles, which brings over 2.5 goals firmly into the equation.
That bold approach was evident in the Bairns' last top-flight outing, which was a barnstorming 6-3 home defeat to Rangers. That means seven of Falkirk’s last 11 Scottish Premiership matches have featured over 2.5 goals, including each of the previous three.
As for Celtic, they have seen over 2.5 goals click in a league-high 21 of their 33 Scottish Premiership matches this season, including 11 of their 16 home games.
The Hoops are more than capable of covering the over 2.5 line on their own on Saturday evening, as they have done in two of their previous three home meetings with Falkirk this season.
On the other hand, the hosts have looked shaky at the back at times throughout the campaign, so attack-minded Falkirk are also more than capable of getting on the scoresheet. With all that in mind, a minimum of three goals should be well within range at Celtic Park.
