Dundee Utd vs Falkirk: Draw
Dundee United and Falkirk both sit on an expected 0.5 goals per game, making the scoring outlook uniformly thin. The model assigns a 46.6% chance to a draw – the highest single‑outcome probability of the match.
Both clubs have stumbled in their recent runs, with Dundee United managing only one win in four league outings and Falkirk yet to secure a victory in their last four. Their defensive frailties – Dundee conceding 1.5 goals at home and Falkirk letting in just 1.0 away – suggest a tight, low‑key encounter.
Hamish's Verdict

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Dundee Utd at 26.7%, the draw at 46.6%, and Falkirk at 26.7% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 36.8% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
Dundee Utd
Dundee United’s recent league form reads D‑L‑L‑W, highlighted by a 1‑1 draw with Rangers at home and a 4‑0 away win over Kilmarnock. The draw against Rangers shows they can hold stronger opposition, while the decisive win at Kilmarnock demonstrates they can capitalize when chances arise – both pointing to a capacity to stay level in a tight game.
Falkirk
Falkirk have recorded L‑L‑D‑L in their last four league fixtures, including a 2‑5 loss to Rangers at home and a 0‑0 draw away at Motherwell. The heavy defeat to Rangers underlines defensive vulnerability, yet the clean sheet at Motherwell indicates they can also keep games goalless – supporting a low‑scoring stalemate.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, Falkirk have won three times (2‑1, 0‑3, 2‑0), drawn once (2‑2) and lost once (2‑3), showing a slight edge but also a recent draw that aligns with the model’s prediction.
