Predictions for St Johnstone vs St Mirren
For the game St Johnstone vs St Mirren, we predict St Mirren to win 2-1 or the game to end in a 1-1 draw, and this is why. Despite St Johnstone’s historical dominance in this fixture when playing at home, St Mirren’s recent form has been slightly better. St Mirren sits higher in the table with five wins compared to St Johnstone’s four, and their ability to capitalize on opponents’ defensive errors might give them the edge.
Prediction: St Mirren to Win or Draw – 1.55
We predict St Johnstone vs St Mirren to produce under three goals, and this is why. Both teams have struggled in front of goal recently, with St Mirren failing to score in their last two games and St Johnstone averaging just 1.11 goals per home match this season. Historically, this fixture tends to be low-scoring, averaging 2.6 goals per game.

Match Preview for St Johnstone vs St Mirren
St Johnstone:
The Saints are desperate to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat in their last match. Sitting 9th in the Premiership standings, St Johnstone has struggled with consistency, particularly at home, where they have lost five of their seven games this season. Sven Sprangler’s disciplinary record (six yellow cards) reflects their midfield struggles. However, McDiarmid Park has historically been a fortress against St Mirren, with St Johnstone winning 15 of their last 32 home meetings.
St Mirren:
The Buddies come into this game off the back of two consecutive defeats, failing to score in both matches. Despite this, their overall performance this season has been slightly better than St Johnstone’s, as they currently sit in 7th place. Toyosi Olusanya’s return could boost their attack, and their ability to convert opportunities, particularly in the 16th-30th minute (26% of their goals), might be critical.
Predicted Starting Lineups for St Johnstone vs St Mirren
St Johnstone: Rae, Cameron, Sanders, Sprangler, Wright, Holt, Smith, Neilson, Kirk, Clark, Mbunga-Kimpioka
St Mirren: Balcombe, Taylor, Fraser, Bwomono, Phillips, Tanser, Gogic, Kiltie, McMenamin, O’Hara, Olusanya
