Don’t expect a drubbing of the Bairns at Pittodrie
Aberdeen FC will be the narrow favourites against Falkirk FC in this Wednesday night's Premiership 2026-2027 clash at Pittodrie, but with the Bairns tough to beat on their travels this season, a tight and tactical affair is more likely than a rout.
The Dons have had an average home record in the current campaign, going 2-1-2 at their Pittodrie base and conceding just four times in five fixtures, while the Bairns have won one and drawn three of their five away games, and should not be underestimated here.
The Bairns have won two and drawn one of the last three meetings in this fixture, while the home side are without a win in their last two against Falkirk at this venue. Aberdeen sit in seventh with 11 points from nine matches in the new top flight, while Falkirk are in ninth with nine points from the same number of games.
Bairns’ goal numbers look attractive
Stephen Robinson has the Dons playing an organised, transitional style of football, where they have a 4-2-3-1 base system, get their wide men running at defenders, and have a sharp press to win the ball back quickly.
John McGlynn's Falkirk are playing some progressive football in this division, making good use of width, directness in transition and tactical flexibility to keep their opponents back.
The Bairns' away goal numbers in the Premiership are attractive in the over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score markets at 83/100 and 7/10 respectively, while the draw looks good value at 51/20 and Falkirk's recent record in this game makes the visitors good value at 13/5 in the win market.
Nisbet can punish Bairns at any time
Kevin Nisbet, with four Premiership 2026-2027 goals in seven games, is the main goal threat for Aberdeen and he has three in the Dons' last five. Falkirk's Jacob Murrell has been in fine form lately, scoring four of the Bairns' seven goals in the last five matches, while Ryan Strain has been the architect of their attacks with four assists in the same five-game period.
Aberdeen thumped a poor Saint Mirren side 3-1 at home last weekend, but their 0-1 defeat to St. Johnstone prior to that showed they could be picked off in league play, so this should be another tough contest. The Dons are in good form overall, going 3-1-1 across their last five in all competitions, while the Bairns are solid, going 2-2-1 in the same period, so a 1-1 draw, just like the score in the last meeting at Pittodrie, is the correct score forecast.
