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 Kilmarnock. During that encounter they had 28% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The SMISA Stadium recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been performing well at The SMISA Stadium recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Goalscorer Mark O'Hara will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for St Mirren.
Hearts, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Hearts produced a stunning 3-0 home win over Hibernian. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Hibernian who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 9 of their last 10 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
With 6 goals scored in Brentford's last 6 outings in the league, Lawrence Shankland has shown a great run of form in finding the back of the net.
The 0-2 victory which Hearts recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Jam Tarts have managed to keep a clean sheet against St Mirren in each of their previous 2 meetings. St Mirren have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with The Jam Tarts.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Hearts has taken all 3 points and has not lost to St Mirren in 3 games.
There is only really one injury concern for the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson ahead of this clash, with Richard Tait (Groin strain) missing out, which gives Robinson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Hearts manager Robbie Neilson with Beni Baningime (Cruciate ligament), Liam Boyce (Cruciate ligament), Craig Halkett (Knee), Peter Haring (Concussion), Stephen Kingsley (Head) and Gary Mackay-Steven (Foot) all unavailable for selection, and Craig Gordon (Broken leg) out for the rest of the season.
