Falkirk host Rangers with statistics that catch the eye: the home side have lost by 2 or more goals just 1 in their last 5 matches (0-2), while Rangers have won by 2 or more goals just 1 in their last 5 (5-1) — neither side is so far apart that the handicap will be blown out, but Rangers are still the more controlling side, and the expected score is 1-2, meaning the game should end with a margin of no more than 1 goal. Falkirk's form, though winning just 1 in 5, has a defense that concedes regularly, and Rangers' chances for extra goals often come late in the game (76-90 min, accounting for 22% of all goals scored) — the picture is Falkirk sitting deep and waiting to counter, while Rangers gradually squeeze the space and may get a decisive goal in the final 15 minutes.
