Falkirk and St. Mirren lock horns at Falkirk Stadium in the opening round of the new Premiership campaign, with both sides eager to make a strong start. Falkirk head into the clash full of confidence after a convincing 3-0 League Cup victory over Stranraer. The hosts looked sharp in attack in that performance, with winger Ben Parkinson impressing and likely to keep his place in the starting XI. Falkirk have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the opener, but their recent form has been inconsistent, winning just three of their last 10 matches. They have also conceded 1.6 goals per game during that period, meaning defensive improvement will be needed against stronger opposition.
St. Mirren, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing 1-0 League Cup defeat against Dunfermline. The Saints were impressive away from home in their recent matches, winning three of their last five away fixtures and averaging 3.4 goals per game on the road. Ronald Idowu is widely expected to return to the starting XI after making an appearance from the bench against Dunfermline. St. Mirren have been involved in plenty of high-scoring games lately, with their last 10 matches averaging 3.9 total goals, while both teams scored in 60% of those fixtures.
This fixture has historically produced goals, with BTTS landing in 67% of the previous meetings between these sides. Therefore, Both Teams to Score is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 1 August 2026 at 15:00.
