Falkirk’s game with Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday has taken on added significance following last weekend’s results. With 5th place potentially enough to secure European football next season, this has suddenly become a key fixture for both sides, with just 2 points separating them in the table. That should lend itself to an entertaining contest, with both teams to score looking worthy of support.
Falkirk’s 1-0 win over Motherwell last weekend bucked their recent BTTS trend, as both teams to score would have been the correct call in each of the Bairns’ previous 6 league matches before that narrow victory. It is also worth noting that Falkirk have already hosted Hibs twice in the Scottish Premiership this season, with those encounters finishing 2-2 and 4-1 respectively.
As for Hibs, they arrive off the back of consecutive 2-1 defeats at home to Hearts and Celtic. The case for siding with both teams to score is further strengthened by the fact that 5 of the capital club’s last 8 away matches have seen both sides find the net.
