Falkirk take their two-game winning run to Pittodrie on Wednesday night aiming to climb the Premiership table against an inconsistent Aberdeen side. The Bairns sit seventh in the Premiership with 12 points from 10 games, a record of three wins and three draws, and are looking to maintain the momentum from consecutive promotions. They are 15 points behind leaders Celtic.
Jacob Murrell's scoring form is a major asset, with the forward netting several times since his summer arrival. His goals in the win at Hibernian and in the victory over Kilmarnock have been key. Murrell is the club's top scorer this season with 5 goals in 8 appearances, including a brace in the 2-1 win at Hibernian on Saturday 17 October. The team's most recent result was a 3-0 home win over Kilmarnock on Saturday 24 October, with goals from an own goal, Murrell, and another own goal. Their recent form over the last five matches reads three wins, one draw, and one loss.
Aberdeen's search for consistency
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson has called for greater focus from his squad after a defeat at Dundee United last weekend. The Dons have struggled for consistency this season, mixing strong performances with disappointing results. Midfielder Brad Lyons echoed the need for the team to concentrate on their jobs and support each other through setbacks.
Falkirk will be without several players due to injury. Aberdeen are also missing some key defenders. The visitors have won only one of their away league matches this season, but that was their recent success at Easter Road. Both teams have scored in most of Falkirk's recent games, suggesting an open contest. Falkirk's overall season tally is 12 goals scored and 12 conceded. Their next fixture is away to Aberdeen, who are 9th in the table, on Wednesday 28 October.
The match kicks off on Wednesday, with Falkirk looking to record a third consecutive top-flight win for the first time this season.
