Hibernian form and stats

Hibernian have played 8 Premiership games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-5-1 (wins-draws-losses). Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Easter Road Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Hibernian.

The spoils were shared in Hibernian's previous game, also at home. Visiting Dundee United (placed 6th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Alloa Athletic and winning 2-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Hibernian's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.

There will be little rest for Hibernian after this match as they are travelling to Rangers for a Premiership game in only three days.

Hibernian have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Easter Road Stadium with 12 goals in 8 league matches. Hibernian's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

St. Mirren form and stats

3 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of St. Mirren playing as the away team in the Premiership this season. Momentum is building for Mirren in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

Mirren go into this game after a win, the home game against St. Johnstone that ended 3-2. That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Rangers in the League Cup.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Goodwin when Jonathan Obika scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and St. Mirren playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and four home wins.

The schedule is very tough for St. Mirren now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premiership game at Ross County is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting St. Mirren as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Mirren have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
