Recent respective form guides

Falkirk's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Bairns have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Inverness CT's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.

Falkirk are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 22 matches. Inverness CT's 31 points from 22 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position.
