St. Mirren form and stats

St. Mirren's results here at The SMISA Stadium in the Premiership have been very modest with 3 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats.

The spoils were shared in Mirren's previous game, also at home. Visiting Hamilton Academical (placed 11th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Aberdeen that finished 0-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for St. Mirren as they have a new game in only four days, a Premiership match thankfully also at home. Motherwell are visiting.

Livingston form and stats

The visitors are W6-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership.

There might be some fixture complaints from Livingston as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premiership match against Dundee United (0-3). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus St. Johnstone.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Livingston have scored 19 goals in 14 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Livingston have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
