Recent respective form guides

Stirling Albion's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Binos have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Falkirk's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The Bairns's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the Binos at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Bairns come away with an easy victory. Away win
