Falkirk take on league leaders Hearts in what looks like a major test for the hosts, who are coming off a heavy 3-0 defeat to Hibernian. Given Hearts' excellent display in the triumph over Celtic, we predict a 2-0 away win. The absence of key defender Keelan Adams was evident in Falkirk's loss to Hibernian, and his continued unavailability leaves Falkirk vulnerable against one of the most efficient attacking sides in the division. Despite Falkirk’s solid home return of 1.80 points per game and an 80% BTTS rate at home, their inconsistency in front of goal—failing to score in 40% of their matches overall—remains a concern.
The Jambos head into Saturday's clash full of confidence after the massive 2-1 victory over Celtic at Celtic Park, extending their strong run to 1.90 points per game overall. They remain well-balanced, averaging 1.70 goals scored while conceding just 0.70. Their 40% clean-sheet rate also underlines a defensive discipline that Falkirk may struggle to break down.
Historically, Hearts have dominated this matchup, winning 5 of the last 7 meetings. Given their brilliant display in the Celtic Park triumph, Away Win is our main betting tip. Under 2.5 goals and Hearts to Keep a Clean Sheet bets should also be considered as Hearts often control games, while Falkirk struggle to create.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 13 December 2025 at 20:00.
