Our predictions for Dundee vs Falkirk
Match Prediction: Dundee 1-1 Falkirk
Dundee will be looking to bounce back from a string of poor results, with their last victory coming against St Mirren at home. Their predicted 4-5-1 formation suggests a focus on defensive solidity, with Congreve and Jones pivotal in midfield to control the game's tempo. Dundee might aim to exploit any gaps left by Falkirk's attacking forays, with Hay leading the line to capitalise on counter-attacks.
Falkirk, on the other hand, come into this match with a more positive recent record, including a win against Kilmarnock. Their 4-2-3-1 setup indicates an intent to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities through the likes of Miller and Tait. However, with several key players doubtful due to injury, Falkirk's depth could be tested. This match could be closely contested, with both teams looking to secure a much-needed win.
Dundee's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 0-1 loss away to Motherwell, which adds to the pressure on the team to perform. Despite a spirited 2-2 draw against Livingston, Dundee have struggled to find the back of the net, losing three out of their last four games. This run of form might affect their confidence going into the match against Falkirk.

Falkirk
Falkirk have shown more resilience in their recent outings, securing a 1-0 victory against Kilmarnock in their last match. This win is a positive sign, although it follows a couple of losses and draws. Their ability to keep clean sheets in three of their last five games suggests a solid defensive foundation, which could be crucial against Dundee. Falkirk will be looking to build on this momentum and secure another positive result.
