St. Mirren and Hibernian meet often enough that they should know each other's game well, but the overall picture from the last six meetings has gone one way: Hibernian won 2-0 and 3-0 and also held two draws, while St. Mirren managed just one win. This time St. Mirren are back at home and have just won their latest match 2-1, so the game does not look as easy as before. St. Mirren lost four in a row before getting back to winning, and in those five matches they conceded in every game, including a 0-5 defeat in one of them. The defence is still the area that needs fixing. Hibernian, meanwhile, have lost three in a row and are without a win in five, their attack has been blunt, scoring just one goal in their last two games, but the stats from their last 10 matches in all competitions say they still hit the target 4.3 times per game, slightly more than their opponents, and they see more of the ball. The pattern of the game should therefore be Hibernian having more of the ball and trying to open up a St. Mirren defence that concedes easily early in games. If Hibernian score first, they have a chance to take the game in the direction they want, but if they let St. Mirren settle and wait to counter, the game could end tight with no one clearly on top.
