Falkirk have met Celtic several times in a row without ever winning. The last meeting, when Celtic won 2-1 at home in August, was still Celtic on top, but this time Falkirk come in on a different note, because they have won all of their last three league matches. Falkirk have won three league matches in a row, with the latest a 1-0 win, and the defence is starting to settle after conceding few goals in the last two matches. Celtic, meanwhile, still lead the table and score heavily in the league, but they have not won in their last two league matches (a 2-2 draw most recently) and have just lost 1-2 in Europe, so the team's rhythm is not as smooth as it was early in the season. This game will likely start with Celtic controlling the ball and attacking as usual, but Falkirk at home will sit in a block and wait to counter with confidence from their winning run. The first half may see Celtic dominate and create chances first, but in the second half Falkirk should find more space as Celtic push up. The game is likely to finish without a wide margin.
