The visitors' first away game in the Premiership ended in defeat. Last season St. Mirren had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 2, drew 2 and lost 11.

Mirren play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Rangers (placed 1st). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Livingston.

It's a bit worrying for Mirren that their goalkeeper Jak Alnwick made ten saves in the Rangers game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with St. Mirren playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were zero St. Mirren wins, two draws and zero defeats.

It's early days yet, but St. Mirren has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
