The Pars have won only one of the last eight matches against Falkirk at East End Park and they haven't come through a cup tie against them since winning 2-0 in October 2002. A Stevie Crawford double that night did the necessary in front of a crowd of 6933. Since 2005 there have been only four Dunfermline wins in the sixteen league meetings and eight of the games have been defeats.

Falkirk made the play off in last year's Championship but went out 2-1 on aggregate to Hamilton. This season they started with convincing cup wins against East Stirlingshire and Montrose. Their opening league game at Central Park disappointed their manager Peter Houston and their fans while Friday night's first home match for them pitched them in against a Rangers team smarting over defeat to Hearts.
