At the other end, Hibernian got 18 shots at goal with 5 on target. Kevin Nisbet (38'), Chris Cadden (78') and Jamie Murphy (93') scored for Hibernian.

Looking at their past form shows that Dundee United:

St Mirren

LDLDDL 📉

After tasting defeat last time out to Rangers in Premiership action, St Mirren and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, St Mirren had 23% possession and 1 shots at goal with 0 on target. Rangers had 25 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Scott Wright (14') and Alfredo Morelos (26') scored for Rangers.

The strike force from St Mirren have failed to get amongst the goals over their last six clashes, netting the unsatisfactory return of just 2. In those fixtures, The Buddies have also seen the overall goal aggregate against them equal 9. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.

Heading into this contest, St Mirren are without an away win for the past 5 league games.
