Aberdeen host Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership. Aberdeen have been the busier winners over their last batch of matches, while Falkirk have picked up fewer victories and drawn more games than they've won.
Both clubs currently sit in the bottom half of the Premiership table, separated by just two points, which is closer than their recent form alone would suggest.

Form heading into the fixture
Aberdeen's wider record shows ten wins, three draws and seven losses from their last 20 matches across all competitions, with 32 goals scored and 23 conceded. That covers Premiership, League Cup and friendly fixtures, so it isn't a pure top-flight run, but it points to a team that's been winning more often than not.
Aberdeen: 20 completed matches; Falkirk: 20 completed matches.

Falkirk's equivalent sample reads six wins, five draws and nine losses from 20 matches, with 26 scored and 32 against. They've lost more than they've won across that stretch, and the numbers lean towards Aberdeen having had the better recent run.
That form gap is worth noting, but it comes from a mixed set of competitions rather than league games alone.

Falkirk have actually come out on top in two of those three games, despite generally sitting lower in the table. It's a small sample, but it shows they're capable of frustrating Aberdeen.
Recent head-to-head results haven't followed the expected pattern based on league position.
Where they sit in the table
In the Premiership itself, Aberdeen are seventh with eight points from seven games, while Falkirk are eleventh with six points from the same number of matches. Aberdeen have two wins, two draws and three losses; Falkirk have one win, three draws and three losses.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | ST Johnstone | 7 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 9/10 | 8 |
| 7 | Aberdeen | 7 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 7/8 | 8 |

| 11 | Falkirk | 7 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 6/9 | 6 |
| 12 | Kilmarnock | 7 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 6/15 | 5 |
That's a much closer picture than the wider form figures imply. Neither side has pulled away from the pack yet this season.

Players to watch
Aberdeen's main attacking threat has been K. Nisbet, who leads the way with three goals and two assists in seven matches, involved directly in a good chunk of their output this season.
Falkirk's R. Strain has chipped in with two assists in seven games, their top contributor in that department. On discipline, Aberdeen's L. Mayo has picked up five yellow cards in six appearances, the most of anyone in this squad's list.

Aberdeen come into this with the better recent form and a slightly higher league position, but it's not the kind of gap that makes them a safe bet. Falkirk have shown they can compete with Aberdeen directly, winning two of the last three meetings between the sides.
With no standout market angle to back that up, we'd rather sit this one out than force a selection based on the numbers alone.
