1.85Tip and bets
Dunfermline are in a difficult situation and will clearly be looking to get some points today – despite their position in the tournament, the Pars are extremely dangerous on their home field and play aggressively in attack, scoring regularly. Falkirk are unlikely to be able to play to zero, but the visitors clearly have plans for all three points, the championship leader has its trump cards ahead, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Falkirk are in excellent form and will certainly strive to maintain their lead over their pursuers and strengthen their status as the sole leader of the championship. The visitors are quite capable of taking three points - Dunfemrline are dangerous at home, but the hosts are significantly inferior in terms of player selection, and in the last two matches against their opponents they were unable to score a single point.
