Hearts are welcoming St. Mirren for another important game after their 0-3 result against 2nd-placed Rangers.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

St. Mirren form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for St. Mirren, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Premiership, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-6 (win-draw-lose). The manager J. Goodwin is not happy with the away performances in the Premiership so far, as all 6 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for St. Mirren as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Dundee United match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for St. Mirren, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Celtic (placed 1st). A 0-1 defeat away at Kilmarnock before that.
