Falkirk's form has been level in the wrong direction. Just one win from seven, with three draws and three losses, and a lot of tight, low-scoring afternoons along the way.

Falkirk's habit of drawing rather than losing or winning suggests they're hard to break down even when they're not winning.

Comparative Team Statistics: Falkirk vs Dundee

Head-to-head

The last three meetings have gone: Falkirk won at home in February, Dundee won at home in December, and Falkirk won away back in October. So the home side has actually won two of the last three.

There's older history between these clubs stretching back to Championship days over a decade ago, but that's too far removed to say anything about the sides as they are now.

Falkirk have won both of the last two meetings played at this ground.

League positions

Dundee are fourth with ten points from seven games. Falkirk are eleventh with six points from the same number of matches.

Five places and four points separate them this early in the season, which is a reasonable gap without being decisive.

Players to watch

Dundee's J. Westley has three goals in seven appearances, with B. Fink adding two more, giving them a bit more end product up front than Falkirk currently have.

Penalty cards:

Ž. Bešir x 1

E. Hamilton x 2

Falkirk's main outlet from midfield has been R. Strain, with two assists so far. On the disciplinary side, Dundee's Ž. Bešir picked up a red card in only three appearances, which is worth keeping an eye on given how thin that sample is.

Goals expected

Dundee have scored nine and conceded seven in the league so far. Falkirk have scored six and conceded nine. Add it up and both sides are involved in games that tend to land close to two goals rather than one-sided shoot-outs.

That points toward a tight match rather than anything especially high-scoring, though neither team's numbers are extreme enough to call it with much certainty.
