Hearts, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Celtic in their last league game, Hearts will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. During that encounter they had 23% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 21 shots on goal.
Manager Steven Naismith will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have recorded 8 clean sheets in their 17 games so far this season.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Lawrence Shankland will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Hearts.
St Mirren, Recent FormSt Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Motherwell. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Motherwell, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games.
St Mirren will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 6 games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-0 win for St Mirren.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Hearts and their rivals, The Buddies, the former have conceded at least one goal.
Hearts remains without a victory against St Mirren in their previous 3 league encounters.
Ryan Strain has scored in each of St Mirren's last 0 league games against Hearts.
Hearts manager Steven Naismith has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Liam Boyce (Leg), Cammy Devlin (Unknown) and Odel Offiah (Illness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Ryan Flynn (Hamstring) and Ryan Strain (Groin strain) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Stephen Robinson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
