ST Johnstone have been productive on their own ground, claiming two wins from three home matches and scoring six goals. Falkirk are yet to win a league fixture this season, drawing twice and losing three times, while averaging just 0.6 goals per game overall. The double chance covering a home win or draw offers strong probability given Falkirk's difficulties in turning competitive performances into victories.

Match preview
ST Johnstone return to home soil looking to build on positive form at McDiarmid Park as they host Falkirk. The home side currently sit seventh in the Premiership table with seven points from six matches, having registered two victories in three league fixtures in front of their own supporters.
Falkirk have endured a difficult start following a winless run across their opening five league fixtures, picking up two draws and three defeats. While they have proven resilient on their travels with draws at Motherwell and Dundee United, their attack has struggled for cutting edge, scoring just three goals in overall league action so far.
With ST Johnstone averaging two goals per game at home and led by in-form goalscorer J. Fowler, they hold the upper hand against a Falkirk team that remains searching for its first league victory of the campaign.
