St. Mirren hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 11th position in the Premiership table. Visiting Dundee United holds 5th place with 16 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
St. Mirren form and stats
St. Mirren, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premiership, have collected 4 points from their Premiership home games so far after 1-1-3. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mirren with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Ross County game, 76 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at The Simple Digital Arena is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
St. Mirren drew their last game, 2-2 away at Queen of the South (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties). Before that, Mirren had a home game versus Partick Thistle which ended with a victory 4-1.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Queen of the South (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) as M. Fraser's goal in the 89th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.
St. Mirren aren't scoring a lot here at The Simple Digital Arena in the league, with only 3 goals from 5 games. On the other hand, Mirren have conceded 7 goals.
Dundee United form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership. Visiting Dundee United has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dundee as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. As for defending, Dundee United rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 10 goals from these away matches.
