Falkirk are set to host Dundee United at Falkirk Stadium on matchday one in the Scottish Premiership. Read on for our match prediction.
Falkirk are back in the Scottish Premiership for the first time in 15 years. John McGlynn's side finished at the top of the Scottish Championship standings in the previous season, marking their second successive back-to-back promotion.
The Bairns come into their first top-flight game in high spirits and are hoping to start on a positive note.
On their way to topping Group A with a healthy four-point lead in the Scottish League Cup, they were also one of eight sides that concluded the group stages without defeat. In their most recent match, they beat Spartans FC 4-0 at home on the last matchday of the Scottish League Cup.
Dundee United finished in fourth place in both the regular season and the championship round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season. This was a significant achievement, one they'll hope to replicate in the current campaign.
The Terrors did not take part in the Scottish League Cup group stages. However, they did have a fair taste of some competitive matches in preparation for the 2025-26 Scottish Premiership season.
They faced Una Strassen in the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. Securing 1-0 wins in both legs saw them advance to the third qualifying round thanks to a 2-0 aggregate score.
