Hibernian and Falkirk meet in the Premiership with both sides desperate for points to climb out of the lower half of the table. The hosts sit 10th with 7 points from 8 matches, while the visitors are 11th, just a point behind, so this is a game where the result can instantly change the standings for both teams. Hibernian have just lost 0-1 at home in their latest match, and the overall season picture is not great when you look at more draws and defeats than wins. Falkirk also just lost 1-2 not long ago, but the visitors have picked up more draws and lost slightly fewer, so the two teams come into this in fairly similar shape. The pattern of play is expected to see the hosts as the ones who have to open up and attack, because Falkirk will likely sit back in a block and wait for counter-attacking chances from the gaps behind a Hibernian side that concedes a lot late in games. If the hosts can keep the ball for long spells and not lose concentration before the end of the first half, the game should flow in a way that lets the hosts keep applying pressure.
