Falkirk v Hearts: goal-shy hosts meet free-scoring visitors | OneFootball

Falkirk host Hearts in the Scottish Premiership at The Falkirk Stadium, a fixture currently listed as postponed, with the hosts chasing a first league goal of the season and the visitors looking to extend their early scoring touch.

Falkirk are 10th with one point from two games, while Hearts sit fourth on three. The most recent league meeting in May ended 3-0 to Hearts, and recent head to head results have largely favoured the visitors.

The Bairns opened with a 2-0 home defeat to St Mirren before a 0-0 draw at Motherwell. The Jambos lost at Aberdeen on the opening weekend but responded with a 4-0 win over Dundee United and have since drawn European ties with Benfica and Rapid Vienna.

The Bairns have yet to score in the league, producing nine shots so far, but they have slung in 35 open play crosses with 22.86% accuracy, so wide delivery may be a route. The Jam Tarts have five league goals from 22 attempts with 50% shot accuracy and only 46% possession, suggesting they could threaten without needing long spells on the ball. Cláudio Braga leads their supply line with two assists in the latest league rankings.

A home win would move The Bairns to four points and could lift them up the table. Victory for The Jam Tarts would take them to six points and could pull them closer to the early leaders.
