Heart Of Midlothian or Draw — 78% confidence

Heart Of Midlothian have won four of their five league matches this season, while Falkirk remain winless with three losses and two draws. Given that Hearts have also won seven of the last ten meetings between these clubs, the visitors hold a significant form and quality edge to at least avoid defeat on the road.

Over 1.5 Goals — 74% confidence

Hearts have scored in every league fixture so far, averaging 2.4 goals per game overall and 2.0 goals per game in away matches. Falkirk have conceded an average of two goals per game across their two home fixtures, making at least two total goals a probable outcome.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
