This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premiership, St. Mirren holding 11th place and Hamilton Academical lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
The visiting Hamilton Academical played their last game only four days ago, a Premiership match. That game was also an away game, at Aberdeen. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
St. Mirren form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what St. Mirren, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Premiership, have to build on here at The Simple Digital Arena in the Premiership. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mirren with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Ross County game, 63 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 travelled for their previous game, a trip to Queen of the South (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) that ended 2-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Partick Thistle in a game that was won 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.

Hamilton Academical form and stats
Hamilton Academical, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Premiership, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premiership, after 2-0-4 (6 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Academical as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Dundee United match. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Academical's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Academical lost away at Aberdeen (2-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The game before that, was lost at home, a 3-5 defeat against St. Johnstone.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Aberdeen was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
