St Mirren v Falkirk: top-half consolidation meets lower-half lift | OneFootball

St Mirren host Falkirk in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, 10 January 2026, in Paisley, with the hosts aiming to climb from 10th while the visitors look to cement sixth.

St Mirren edged the reverse fixture 2–1 in September and return to league duty on 18 points, with Falkirk on 27.

Form points to a tight contest. St Mirren's last five league games read two wins, one draw and two defeats, losing their past two. The Bairns have two wins and three defeats in that span, including a 1–0 victory over Aberdeen last time out.

Routes to goal could hinge on service from wide areas. St Mirren average 0.8 goals per game with 333 open-play crosses at 21.32% accuracy, and have five headed goals. Declan John leads their assists chart with four and Mikael Mandron has four league goals. The Bairns score 1.1 per game, have delivered 331 open-play crosses at 21.45% accuracy, and have four headed goals, with Calvin Miller on four assists and Brian Graham their leading scorer on four. With both sides conceding 1.4 per game, set pieces and aerial duels may prove decisive.

A home win would take St Mirren to 21 points and pull them closer to the pack above. Three points for the Bairns would move them to 30 and strengthen their top-half standing.
