Partick Thistle vs Falkirk Previews, Form and Players to Watch
Partick Thistle currently sit fourth in the Scottish Championship table, occupying a promotion qualification spot. However, there is still work to be done in the remaining two games for the Jags; they have tallied up the same number of points as Raith Rovers in fifth, making it an extremely tight contest for a top four place. Furthermore, Thistle’s recent form has been slightly hit or miss. Brian Graham’s men have come to be winless in their last three games, piling pressure onto their promotion spectacle. Prior to drawing their last match against Dunfermline Athletic, they had lost two games on the bounce – both 2-1 defeats against Hamilton and Airdrieonians. Falkirk’s promotion to the Scottish Premiership is all but confirmed. The Bairns stand honourably on 70 points for the campaign; three points clear of their inferiors. With two games left to play, they look to complete back-to-back promotions, after winning the League One title last season. Despite both being in the top four, Falkirk are astonishingly 21 points ahead of Partick Thistle heading into this clash. However, both teams are alike in the form department; John McGlynn’s men have picked up two losses and one draw out of their last four matches, dropping vital points in the promotion tale. Their last match, in which they lost 3-1 to Raith Rovers, provided a thriller ending. After being 1-0 up from the 17th minute onwards, the Bairns conceded three goals after the 88th minute to lose the game convincingly.

Brian Graham has continued his excellence for Thistle this season. The 37-year-old has scored 18 goals this season to add to his staggering goalscoring record in red and yellow.

Falkirk Predicted Line-Up: Hogarth, McCann, Henderson, Donaldson, Adams, Spencer, Tait, Miller, Arfield, Ross, Oliver
Calvin Miller has been Falkirk’s ultimate provider this season. The 27-year-old has amounted 11 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, offering a vast amount of attacking contribution.

During these three games, 12 goals have been scored – providing a thriller fixture for its spectators. The last three meetings between these sides are as follows:
Falkirk 5-2 Partick Thistle, February 2025
Partick Thistle 1-2 Falkirk, October 2024
Falkirk 2-1 Partick Thistle, August 2024
