Recent respective form guides

Kilmarnock's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Killie have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Falkirk's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Bairns have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Kilmarnock are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 37 matches. Falkirk find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 37 games have yielded only 30 points.
