St. Mirren form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at The Smisa Stadium as St. Mirren have scored 8 goals to get 16 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Premiership are 5-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).

St. Mirren are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Ross County. O'Hara (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.4/10. O'Hara scored one goal.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Hibernian.

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 9 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Rangers are coming to town in three days.

The St. Mirren fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Defensively Mirren have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 7 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

St. Johnstone form and stats

3 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of St. Johnstone, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in Premiership, playing as the away team in the Premiership this season.

Clark and Brown scored in St. Johnstone's previous match, the home game against Rangers that ended 2-1. Goalkeeper Parish was absolutely vital in the St. Johnstone victory against Rangers, making six saves. Considine was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.13. The defender Considine won 2 of 4 duels.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Kilmarnock.

We have checked recent matches where Johnstone have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 7 games were 1 victory, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Motherwell in just three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far St. Johnstone have scored 9 goals in 7 league games away. Johnstone's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
