Falkirk v Motherwell: top-six tussle as hosts seek a lift and visitors aim to consolidate fourth | OneFootball

Falkirk host Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership Championship group at Falkirk Stadium on Saturday, 2 May 2026, with the hosts seeking a lift and the visitors aiming to consolidate fourth.

Falkirk won 3-2 away in April after the sides drew 0-0 here in December. Motherwell sit fourth in the Championship group, with the hosts sixth.

The Bairns have lost four of their last five in all competitions, the exception being that 3-2 triumph. Motherwell's league run was defeat, draw, defeat and defeat before a 3-2 win at Rangers.

Motherwell have scored 55 and conceded 31 this season, with 17 clean sheets, 59% possession and 85.69% pass accuracy. Tawanda Maswanhise leads the scoring chart on 17, while Callum Slattery and Elijah Just have supplied regularly.

The Bairns could lean on Calvin Miller, who leads the league for assists with nine and has six goals, while Barney Stewart offers an eight-goal threat. The visitors' control may test a home defence that has conceded 51.

A home win would take The Bairns to 49 points and close the gap on fifth placed Hibernian. Victory for Motherwell would move them to 60 points and further strengthen fourth.
