The Fifers meet the Bairns in a rescheduled fixture brought about due to Falkirk's run in the Scottish Cup.

Darren Young’s men go into the game on the back of a 1-0 win over Peterhead.

Forward Dowds scored the only goal of that game, and is delighted that another match has come around so soon.

“These are the games that you look for straight away in the league,” he said.

“Falkirk away, it’s a great stadium with a big fanbase but we’ve done well against them this season so far and were unlucky not to win the game at Christmas with them.

“We’ll go there and play our game and see what we can do.”

Bayview boss Darren Young says he's likely to make one or two changes from the side which saw off the Blue Toon against the full-time Bairns.

He said: “It’s a big week for us and we’ll maybe look to freshen things up.

“We have a game next Saturday as well but we’re in a great position.

“First and foremost we wanted to make sure we got the three points against Peterhead which we did.

“I’m delighted with the performance and hopefully we can go on a wee run now.”
