Sat 4th Apr, 15:00 BST, Fir Park, Motherwell

John McGlynn guides his Falkirk team to the Fir Park in the Premiership on Saturday afternoon, with Jens Berthel Askou's Motherwell their challengers. We provide predictions based on complex statistical analysis of both teams, across seventeen major betting markets.

Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

A tight, highly tactical defensive battle could be in store as Motherwell and Falkirk go head-to-head, with almost nothing between the sides in terms of who could claim victory. The statistics do not provide any proper confidence in that regard, but they are pointing strongly towards there being 2 goals or fewer in the fixture. That's a prediction available at best priced odds of 2.00 with the bookies, so we've made under 2.5 goals our tip of the day for this tie.
