Motherwell and Falkirk set for Premiership clash
Motherwell and Falkirk are set to face each other on matchday 2 of the Premiership season at Fir Park. Both sides will be looking to build on their opening day results as the campaign gets underway.
This fixture has seen Falkirk emerge victorious in their last three encounters. Most recently, Falkirk secured a 1-0 win over Motherwell in the Premiership Championship Group on 2 May 2026. Prior to that, Falkirk also won 3-2 and 1-2 in league matches during the 2025-2026 season, suggesting a historical edge for the visitors in recent times.
Motherwell began their Premiership campaign with a 1-2 away win against Hibernian on 2 August 2026.

Falkirk, meanwhile, opened their Premiership season with a 0-2 home defeat to St. Mirren on 1 August 2026. Their recent cup form in the League Cup Group G was more positive, with victories over Stranraer and Edinburgh City, alongside a draw with Alloa Athletic. Their friendly results were also mixed, with a 1-0 win against Genk but a 0-1 loss to Ayr United.
