- St Mirren have won their last 5 consecutive games and scored 4 goals or more in 3 consecutive League Cup Group C 2026 matches.
- St Mirren have won 3 consecutive away games and have only conceded 3 goals on the road at 0.60 per game.
Both teams can score and both can win
Falkirk come into this game as the narrow favourites at 97/100, with St Mirren at 5/2 and the draw at 13/5. However, I'm going for goals in this game with Both Teams To Score - Yes at 67/100 and Over 2.5 Goals at 4/5. Falkirk and St Mirren are both in good form, but the visitors are more consistent and deserve the win.
Falkirk have won two and lost one of their last three home games but will need to keep it tight at the back to get a result here. John McGlynn has them set up in a proactive 4-2-3-1 formation, in which they utilise full-backs in width and try to get players in behind the defence on the break.
Liam Henderson is their main threat, scoring two of their six goals in the last five games, he gives Falkirk the belief to go for it, which could be enough to hurt St Mirren.
St Mirren have the form and the away record
Across all competitions, Falkirk have won five and lost five of their last 10, which isn't good enough to be a title contender. Craig McLeish has St Mirren in a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 shape, but they're more compact and have a no-fear edge when they get on the ball.
St Mirren have won six, drawn one and lost three of their last 10 across all competitions, making them the much more consistent team right now. They have won four and lost just one of their away matches, so they look like the best bet on paper.
St Mirren can win at Falkirk
They are unbeaten in their last two meetings with Falkirk and won the last head-to-head away from home 2-1 in Premiership 2025/2026. Both of these sides play similarly, so this could be a midfield chess match, with full-backs and pressing being key.
However, St Mirren have the momentum and I don't believe they will be fazed here. Falkirk have home advantage and are a dangerous side, but St Mirren are flying at the moment and deserve a result.
St Mirren's goals have been spread out across the side recently, which is good because it makes them more difficult to stop. Falkirk could do well to be the first team to hurt them, but it will be a tight away win on Saturday.
