This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premiership, St. Mirren holding 11th place and Motherwell lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
St. Mirren form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what St. Mirren 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, 56 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.
Mirren manager J. Goodwin and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Queen of the South (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in the League Cup. Before that game, the 4-1 home victory against Partick Thistle.
Late drama in the game against Queen of the South (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) as St. Mirren were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until M. Fraser popped out and made it level in the 89th minute.
