St Mirren, Recent FormSt Mirren will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their away fixture against Motherwell. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Motherwell who had 20 attempts and 7 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at The SMISA Stadium.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Hearts, Recent FormHearts enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Aberdeen last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Aberdeen, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 5 goals netted in those 6 matches. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Lawrence Shankland is giving Hearts' travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
The St Mirren defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Jam Tarts have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at The SMISA Stadium.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The SMISA Stadium in the league, but Hearts will hold a slight psychological advantage having been unbeaten there in their last 4 visits.
There is only really one injury concern for the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson ahead of this clash, with Jonah Ayunga (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Robinson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Steven Naismith has a number of injury concerns in his Hearts squad to contend with: Craig Gordon (Broken leg), Craig Halkett (Knee) and Barrie McKay (Knee)
