The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. St. Mirren are in the 6th position while the guesting Kilmarnock worry at 9th.
- St. Mirren has the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Premiership
- Kilmarnock has the fewest clean sheets (4) in Premiership
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
St. Mirren form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premiership this season. St. Mirren have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from their games here at The Paisley 2021 Stadium.
Mirren's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Hibernian (placed 3rd). Before that match, a win away at Celtic.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mirren have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Mirren, as the Premiership home game vs Celtic is only four days away.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for St. Mirren here at The Paisley 2021 Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 11 games). Mirren's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Kilmarnock form and stats
There's been little loot from Kilmarnock's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Premiership. Kilmarnock, who have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Premiership, only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 1 draw. With the Kilmarnock losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Kilmarnock are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Home advantage was not enough for Kilmarnock in their previous game, as they lost their Premiership-match, hosting Celtic, 0-4. A 2-3 loss hosting St. Johnstone before that.
Kilmarnock lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
Kilmarnock are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and five defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
A new game in only four days for Kilmarnock, the Premiership home match versus Motherwell. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kilmarnock as they have only managed to score 9 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Kilmarnock have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
