Falkirk, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Falkirk produced a stunning 5-2 home win over Queen of the South.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The Falkirk Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. John McGlynn will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Callumn Morrison will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Falkirk.
Montrose, Recent FormMontrose manager Stewart Petrie will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Peterhead.
It seems pretty certain that he will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 7 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 5 away games out of 10 this season, Petrie will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 3 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Rory McAllister has given the travelling Montrose support something to shout about on the road.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Gable Endies will be looking to extend their current run of 3 clean sheets at The Falkirk Stadium when they visit Falkirk. Playing away from home, Montrose have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Falkirk. In their past 5 meetings, Montrose's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Bairns will have to take their chances when they come.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Falkirk will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 7 games.
With no real injury worries, Falkirk manager John McGlynn will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Montrose manager Stewart Petrie has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
