St. Mirren vs Falkirk: match statistics
Statistical analysis indicates a very balanced rivalry between two teams of similar disposition. St. Mirren presents stable form at home with 50% clean sheets and a goal difference of -1, however, they score an average of just 0.7 goals per match with 50% of games without scoring. Falkirk has weaker form on the road with 50% losses and a goal difference of -7, but their average of 0.8 goals per match and better shot conversion (7% vs 6%) give them a chance for points. Both teams have been earning a similar number of points in the last 5 matches (1.4 vs 1.2 PPG), and their recent meetings are characterized by low offensive efficiency. Considering the high probability of ineffectiveness for both sides (FTS% 50% for both), I predict a draw as the most likely outcome of this fixture.
