Team News

St. Mirren
St. Johnstone
  • St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson made two changes after the Buddies were beaten 4-0 by Hearts at Tynecastle before they equalised at Ibrox but lost 2-1 to Rangers on Sunday afternoon.
  • Ellery Balcombe continued in goal behind an unchanged back three of Charles Dunne, Alex Gogic and Marcus Fraser. The Buddies shifted to a 3-4-3 with Elvis Bwomono coming in at right wing-back to replace Oisin Smyth and Scott Tanser starting at left wing-back.
  • Killian Phillips started alongside club captain Mark O'Hara in midfield. Kevin van Veen has a foot injury, so James Scott took his place to accompany Greg Kiltie in support of Toyosi Olusanya up front.
  • Simo Valakari named an unchanged Saints side after their 3-0 victory over Ross County at McDiarmid Park, before his long-awaited dugout debut ended in a 2-1 Tayside derby victory over Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon.
  • Andre Raymond, Jack Sanders, Lewis Neilson and Drey Wright made up the back four behind Ross Sinclair in goal. Jason Holt remained alongside Matt Smith and Sven Sprangler in the trio of midfielders that sat in front of the back four.
  • Graham Carey netted Saints' equaliser off the bench, so is pushing to start in this midweek match. Nicky Clark grabbed the winner, as he supported Benji Kimpioka and Adama Sidibeh up front.

Prediction

  • Two points separate St Mirren in tenth and St Johnstone in sixth ahead of the two teams meeting in midweek at the SMISA Stadium.
  • St Mirren have lost 23 of their 25 away games at Rangers since a 1-0 victory back in November 1991 but, considering they had failed to score in their last 10 trips to Ibrox to face the Gers, there were poorer performances in the previous 13 visits where they had lost each and every one. The Buddies last lost four consecutive league games in April 2022, so will want to get back to winning ways here.
  • St Johnstone put an end to their terrible recent record against Dundee, as they were winless in six Scottish Premiership meetings with the Dee before their wonderful weekend win, despite not losing three top-flight meetings in a row to their Tayside rivals since April 2002. It was the first time that Saints have won back-to-back league games since November 2022, where they won three on the spin.
  • The away team has failed to score in the last three league meetings between both Saints sides, but the Perth Saints will fancy picking up at least a point against the Paisley Saints in midweek.
