Hibs are coming into this match with a bit of a wobble, having lost their last two games against Celtic and Motherwell. However, their earlier wins against Dundee and St Mirren show they've got the firepower to bounce back. With a strong attacking lineup featuring Boyle and Bowie, they'll be looking to exploit any weaknesses in Falkirk's defence. The key will be maintaining possession and converting chances into goals.

Falkirk, on the other hand, have been solid at the back, drawing their last two games against Motherwell and Rangers without conceding. Their recent wins against Dundee Utd and Kilmarnock suggest they can be dangerous going forward, especially with Ogunsuyi leading the line. This match could be tight, with both teams having something to prove. Expect a competitive game, with the first goal potentially decisive.

Hibs have had a mixed bag recently, with two losses in their last two games against Celtic and Motherwell. However, before that, they were in fine form, securing back-to-back wins against Dundee and St Mirren, and a draw against Livingston. This suggests they can bounce back and regain their confidence. If they can harness that earlier momentum, they should be able to put in a strong performance against Falkirk.

• Predicted lineup: Sallinger (GK), O'Hora (DF), Bushiri (DF), Obita (DF), C. Cadden (MF), Mulligan (MF), Chaiwa (MF), Iredale (MF), McGrath (MF), Boyle (AT), Bowie (AT)

Hibs are expected to line up in a 3-4-1-2 formation, with Sallinger in goal and a back three of O'Hora, Bushiri, and Obita. This setup should allow them to control the midfield with C. Cadden, Mulligan, Chaiwa, and Iredale, while Boyle and Bowie up front will look to exploit any gaps in Falkirk's defence.

• Predicted lineup: Bain (GK), Allan (DF), Lissah (DF), Henderson (DF), McCann (DF), Spencer (MF), Tait (MF), Agyeman (MF), Cartwright (MF), Yeats (MF), Ogunsuyi (AT)

Falkirk are likely to stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bain in goal and a back four of Allan, Lissah, Henderson, and McCann. This should provide a solid defensive base, allowing Spencer and Tait to control the midfield and feed the ball to Ogunsuyi up front, who will be key in breaking down Hibs' defence.

• Bowie vs Henderson: Kyle Bowie's pace and movement will be tested by Liam Henderson's defensive solidity.
• Chaiwa vs Spencer: Matthew Chaiwa's creativity in midfield will face a stern challenge from Brad Spencer's tenacity.
• Boyle (Hibernian): Martin Boyle's speed and finishing ability make him a constant threat to any defence.
• Agyeman (Falkirk): Alfie Agyeman's goal-scoring prowess could be the difference for Falkirk in this match.
