Falkirk v Partick Thistle : Championship match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 8th Feb, 15:00 BST, Falkirk Community Stadium, Falkirk

Falkirk are in Championship action on Saturday afternoon, as John McGlynn looks to get one over on Kris Doolan and his Partick Thistle side at the Falkirk Community Stadium. The predictions for all the markets are based on the past 20 games each side has played (home, away and overall) with additional weight applied to top teams. All the stats and infographics are tailored for the betting market in question. Head-to-head statistics between the team are also given if there are are enough previous meetings. Odds are provided directly from from the UK's biggest bookmakers.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this match will deliver 4+ goals, and the odds and statistics point in the same direction as KO's predictive algorithm on this one. Falkirk and Partick have rarely been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in the Championship individually or when going head-to-head. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're recommending under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.40.
