St Mirren, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 home defeat by Rangers, St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. During that encounter they had 30% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 13 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Robinson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. 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.
St Mirren will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
St Johnstone, Recent FormSt Johnstone will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Aberdeen with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Aberdeen's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having conceded 7 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games; however, they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
A win for St Johnstone is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Ali Crawford will be hoping to create problems for St Mirren in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for St Johnstone.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In their previous 3 encounters with The Saints, St Mirren have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but St Johnstone hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
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.
With only Callum Booth (Unknown) and Ali Crawford (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steven MacLean will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
