St. Mirren form and stats

St. Mirren have played 14 Premiership games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-7-4 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Dundee and winning 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with St. Mirren perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with St. Mirren as a small favourite), we find five games. St. Mirren has won one of these, drawn four and lost zero.

St. Mirren aren't scoring a lot here at The SMISA Stadium in the league, with only 11 goals from 14 games. Mirren are not conceding a lot of goals here at The SMISA Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 14 matches.

Dundee United form and stats

Dundee United have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Premiership, after 2-7-6 (15 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Hearts.

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

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dundee as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. Dundee United have conceded 16 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent reported meeting between these contenders is the Dundee United - St. Mirren 1-2 played earlier this season. Head to head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): St. Mirren won two games, five matches ended with a tie and Dundee United have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
