- St. Johnstone have scored at least twice as many goals away as St. Mirren have scored home.
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, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Premiership, have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses from their games here at The Paisley 2021 Stadium. St. Mirren are slowly digging their own grave here at The Paisley 2021 Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Livingston match.
Mirren's last game was hosting Rangers (placed 1st) and winning 3-2. Before that match, a Premiership win away at Motherwell.
Some amazing scenes last match, when C. McCarthy scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
There will be little rest for Mirren after this match as they are travelling to Hibernian for a Premiership game in only four days.
The lack of attacking qualities in St. Mirren means that they have only scored 4 goals in 9 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Mirren have conceded 14 from these games.
St. Johnstone form and stats
Playing away, St. Johnstone have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the Premiership this season. Visiting Johnstone has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Johnstone has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Dunfermline Athletic (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) for a League Cup game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Livingston.
A new game in only four days for Johnstone, the Premiership home match versus Rangers. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Johnstone have scored 11 goals in 8 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. St. Johnstone's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
