- Hibs have won two of the last three meetings between these clubs, including a 3-1 away win 5 months ago in the Premiership - Championship Round 2026.
- Hibs are winless in four home matches in the Premiership 2026/2027 (D1, L3) and Falkirk are still seeking their first away win of the season (D3, L1).
- Hibs are the possession-based unit, but Falkirk are the more direct and transition-based side, so this should be an even contest.
Bottom-six scrap awaits at Easter Road
Hibs and Falkirk look set to be involved in a basement battle based on their positions in the table after eight games. Hibs are 10th on seven points and the Bairns are 11th on six, so it's a scrap at the bottom of the table this Saturday at Easter Road.
Marink Reedijk's men come into the game in mixed form with one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five in all competitions. They played Aberdeen last time out, in the league, when they battled for a 1-1 draw at home and then were held 1-0 away to Dundee United in their last Premiership 2026/2027 away game.
John McGlynn's Bairns have also been inconsistent of late with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five, including a 1-1 away draw at St. Johnstone and a 2-1 home defeat to Dundee. The Bairns come into this game without much momentum.
Falkirk can hold the Honest Men
The odds of 63/100 on Hibs to win looks a bit on the short side as they are the favourites here against Falkirk, who are 4/1 with the draw 29/10. Hibs have a better record against the Bairns and a little bit more quality in the team, but that's probably all and it may not be enough to see them over the line here.
Falkirk's direct style and work-rate should help them hold their own against a similar Hibs side that like to play on the front foot, but also press the ball very well. Falkirk's 4-2-3-1 system is built on quick transitions, so there's every chance this game could open up in transition.
Falkirk will feel they can get something here as they are unbeaten in three of their four away games so far, although they have been pretty low-scoring on their travels in the top flight. They've averaged 0.75 goals per game away from home, scoring three goals in total.
Hibs have been just as blunt in front of goal at home, scoring just three Premiership 2026/2027 goals at their own ground.
Hibs have the danger man
Martin Boyle is the danger man for the hosts with three goals in six Premiership 2026/2027 appearances and is the most likely source of a goal for Hibs in this clash. Falkirk's top scorer Ben Krauhaus has managed just one goal in six league games and his best chance may be to play off the Hibs targetman.
Ryan Strain has been the Bairns' main provider with three assists in seven appearances, so we will take him to create something from the away side's best chances here. Over 2.5 goals at 7/10 is our main selection for the game, while Falkirk double chance makes sense in the result market as the Bairns are unbeaten in three of their four away games to date.
