**Falkirk's home fortress meets a resurgent Dundee side** — but the hosts' injury crisis might just tilt this one 🔴

Falkirk have been steady at Brockville, finding wins and draws in equal measure, though recent form shows they're leaky at the back. Dundee arrive with **better momentum**, posting two wins in their last five, but they've stumbled away from Dens Park and will be wary of the Bairns' ground advantage.

Key storylines:

- **Falkirk's mounting injury toll** — five players sidelined including A. Nesbitt and others — could stretch their creative depth thin against a Dundee outfit looking to build on back-to-back wins
- **Dundee's counter-punch threat**: B. Halliday and J. Westley need space to operate; if Falkirk's midfield (F. Barbrook and B. Spencer) can't control the tempo, expect a vulnerable backline
- **Home/away splits matter**: Falkirk's 2-1 H2H edge masks Dundee's improving travel game under the radar

Expected lineups:

- **Falkirk FC**: N. Hogarth, L. McCann, L. Henderson, L. Neilson, J. McMillan, F. Barbrook, B. Spencer, E. Ross, O. Eames, A. Doherty, J. Murrell
- **Dundee FC**: O. Goodman, I. Odutayo, O. Bevan, R. Astley, D. Wright, A. Forrest, E. Hamilton, R. Finnigan, B. Halliday, J. Westley, J. Bevan

Prediction:

**Falkirk 2-1 Dundee** — home injury woes create margin for error, but Falkirk's recent wins at Brockville edge them through 🎯
