Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but it's all-but impossible to predict a high-scoring affair here. The statistics suggest Falkirk and Livingston both struggle to score on a consistent basis, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, with no obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.
