Aberdeen v Falkirk: top-half consolidation meets bottom-half climb | OneFootball

Aberdeen host Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday, 14 March 2026, with the visitors looking to cement sixth while the hosts chase a lift from the bottom half.

Falkirk have edged the head-to-head this season, winning both league meetings 1-0 home and away. Aberdeen, in 9th, need a response after sliding down the table.

The Dons are winless in four league matches, a run that includes defeats by Celtic, Hearts and Dundee, plus a draw at Dundee United. The Bairns arrive with momentum from recent Premiership wins over Hibernian, Dundee and Kilmarnock, offset by narrow losses at Hearts and against Dundee United.

Falkirk's wide supply could matter. They have delivered 459 open-play crosses at 20.70% accuracy and won 567 aerial duels this season. The Dons have 343 crosses at 18.37% and 441 aerial wins. Calvin Miller leads the visitors' creativity with seven league assists, while Barney Stewart has five goals. For Aberdeen, Kevin Nisbet has six league goals, with service from Stuart Armstrong and Topi Keskinen, who have four and three assists respectively.

A home win would move the Dons to 32 points and could take them above Dundee into eighth. Victory for the Bairns would lift them to 45 points and further strengthen their hold on sixth in the top half.
