I think St Mirren look well worthy of support to score at least once against Falkirk on Saturday. The Saints have shown across the opening month of the Scottish Premiership season why they have long had a reputation as a tough nut to crack. Stephen Robinson’s side pushed Celtic all the way at Parkhead on the opening weekend of the campaign and they have since played out 1-1 draws with both Rangers and Hibernian. 

While Falkirk will be in high spirits after defeating Aberdeen 1-0 before the international break, the Bairns made the most of the red card that the Dons received during the first half of that contest. Prior to that victory, John McGlynn’s men had shipped multiple goals in three successive matches, including their previous home game with Dundee United.

It's also worth noting that St Mirren made the net bulge in 13 of their 18 Scottish Premiership away games last season, further suggesting that they can strike at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday. 

This bet, +0.5 Asian Handicap, is the exact same as backing Dumbarton Double Chance, yet that is priced at 1.52 on SBK, so we're getting a 0.32 increase on the same bet - value.

Down in League Two, Dumbarton have made a positive start to the season, making short work of their five-point penalty, and the Sons look a strong price to avoid losing at Forfar.

Across their last nine matches in all competitions, their sole defeat came against improving Edinburgh City in their last league outing. They bounced back from that with a 1-1 draw against East Fife in the Challenge Cup last week – a match that was played between the teams at close to full strength.

Forfar, meanwhile, have had difficulties lately after a positive start to the season. The Loons had lost three straight before bouncing back against a young Dundee team last weekend. They have won both home matches so far, but these came against Stranraer and Stirling – teams that have been no great shakes at the start of the season.

Dumbarton have built an experienced side, and I expect them to build upon what’s been a strong start to the season by coming away from Station Park with something to show for their efforts: 1.84 looks a good price to me.
