Falkirk vs St. Mirren: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Falkirk earned another promotion from the Championship in 2025. This time, they performed well, finishing in the top 6, even though they ended up last among that group. In the League Cup, they started with a resounding victory over Edinburgh City, but lost their next game. After a draw with Alloa Athletic, they finally beat Stranraer in the last match.
The team from Paisley had a very mixed last season. On one hand, they finished next to last and remained in the Premiership only because they scored one more goal in the playoffs than Partick Thistle—drawing 1-1 and then winning 1-0. On the other hand, they sensationally won the cup—a rare trophy for such a modest club. This summer, they started the League Cup with confident wins. After a couple of 4-0 victories, they beat East Kilbride 4-3. In the last match, however, they lost to Dunfermline.
The former newcomer averaged 1.32 goals scored per match last season, conceding 1.63 per game. The humble cup winner managed only 0.79 goals scored per game in the Premiership, while conceding almost twice as many—1.45 per match.
