Tight game anticipated at Pittodrie
Falkirk have enjoyed some recent success against Aberdeen FC and that, along with a few other factors, may help them avoid a defeat at Pittodrie Stadium this Wednesday. The Bairns have won two and drawn one of the last three meetings between the sides and John McGlynn's men have been resilient away in the Premiership 2026/2027 season, taking one win and three draws from five trips and scoring five goals on the road.
Both teams in good nick
Standings and defence
While Falkirk have nine points from nine games in ninth place, Aberdeen FC are 7th with 11 points from 9 matches. The Dons have two wins, one draw and two defeats from five at home in the league, but they have only conceded four goals in five fixtures at the Pittodrie.
Tactics and pressing
Stephen Robinson's men are playing some organised, transitional soccer on the basis of a 4-2-3-1 system. They use their wide runners to stretch the play and put pressure on opposing defences and they are sharper in the press, forcing turnovers more regularly.
- Falkirk have also found the net plenty of times in recent weeks with Jacob Murrell in fine form for the club, netting four of their seven goals across the last five matches.
- Ryan Strain has been the architect of many of those goals with four assists during the same period.
- The Dons have also been in good form with Kevin Nisbet their main threat in the Premiership with four goals in seven matches and three in the last five.
Odds and outlook
Aberdeen FC are the narrow favorites at 1.97, but Falkirk will feel they have enough about them at 3.6 to snag a point at least. The draw is a bigger price at 3.55 so we're going for that with a bit of insurance.
The Dons beat Saint Mirren 3-1 on home turf, but they were taken apart 1-0 by St. Johnstone last weekend so the Bairns can get a grip on this game if they are at it.
Go for goals
The goals markets look good for this game too as the Dons have conceded only 4 goals in 5 home fixtures and Falkirk have been scoring 5 goals on the road. Over 2.5 goals at 1.83 and both teams to score yes at 1.7 are our selections.
The 1-1 result is taken in exact score as the previous meeting between the clubs at this venue finished 1-1 and this one looks like another close game between two organised sides, with goals likely.
