St. Mirren form and stats

Things could have gone better for St. Mirren in their Premiership away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Mirren go into this game after a win, the home game against Livingston that ended 2-1. Greive came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Livingston last time out, making the manager Robinson feel like a tactical genius. Defender Fraser was the best team player with a rating of 7.12. Fraser won 6 of 7 duels.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Celtic.

St. Mirren have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. For Mirren, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
