What to expect
We expect about 1.9 goals from Hearts and 1.1 from Falkirk, so Hearts come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 2.9 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Falkirk come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 2.9 goals between the two (xG 1.9-1.1), landing about 58% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 55 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.62, which works out at about 62 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
