"I’m expecting Falkirk’s clash with Dundee to be a lot closer than the pre-match odds suggest. The two teams are both on nine points, so I’m struggling to understand why the hosts are such short-priced favourites this weekend. Moreover, Falkirk have yet to claim a victory at home in four attempts this season, so it’s difficult to make a strong case for John McGlynn’s men here.

Instead, I think Dundee look worthy of support to score at least once at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday. Steven Pressley’s side will come into this clash on a massive high after claiming a 2-0 win over Celtic last weekend. The Dark Blues have also picked up a 1-1 draw away at Rangers this season, so they look well placed to land a blow on a Falkirk defence that are not accustomed to keeping clean sheets.

The Bairns have failed to shut out their opponents in seven of their eight league games this season, including each of their four matches at home."

"Arbroath are one of the form teams in the Scottish Championship at the moment, and they can remain on an upward curve by at the very least avoiding defeat at Airdrie on Saturday. Following their promotion back to the second tier at the end of last season, the Red Lichties currently find themselves in the lofty heights of 3rd place.

After sweeping aside Queen’s Park 4-1 a fortnight ago, Arbroath produced their best performance of the season so far with an impressive 3-1 win over league leaders St Johnstone last weekend. As such, the Angus outfit will fancy their chances of heaping more misery on out-of-sorts Airdrie on Saturday.

The Diamonds are rooted to the foot of the table and still searching for their first league win of the season, having failed to take top honours from each of their opening 11 league games of the campaign. What’s more, Danny Lennon’s side have lost four of their last five league matches, the most recent of which was a 4-0 thrashing from Dunfermline on Tuesday night."
