In that match, St Mirren managed 58% possession and 5 shots on goal with 0 of them on target. At the other end, Dundee got 11 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. Amadou Bakayoko (16', 57'), Zak Rudden (45') and Zach Robinson (85') scored for Dundee.

Fixtures involving St Mirren have proved to be engaging affairs recently with high scoring anticipated. Over their past 6 clashes alone, the sum of 20 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 8 of these being chalked up by St Mirren. That pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward here, however.

• are unbeaten in the league by Livingston in their last 11 matches. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 home league matches.

Livingston

WLLLLL 🔻

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Rangers in Premiership competition, Livingston and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Livingston had 32% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target. On the other side, Rangers had 18 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Cyriel Dessers (26') and James Tavernier (75') scored for Rangers.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Livingston:

• have not beaten St Mirren when having played them away from home in the previous 8 matches in the league. Very poor away form.
• are without an away win for the past 5 league matches.

The St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this game with a fully healthy group to pick from.

It’s our opinion that The Buddies should go for a 3-4-3 formation in the match with Zach Hemming, Marcus Fraser, Alexandros Gogic, Richard Taylor, James Bolton, Ryan Flynn, Caolan Boyd-Munce, Scott Tanser, Conor McMenamin, Mikael Mandron and Greg Kiltie.

📰 Team News: Livingston

Thanks to a fully injury-free group ready to go, the Livingston manager David Martindale has zero fitness worries at all coming into this game.

We are inclined to think that Livi Lions seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-1-2 lineup, starting the game with Shamal George, Luiyi de Lucas, Michael Devlin, Sean Kelly, James Penrice, Scott Pittman, Andrew Shinnie, Cristian Montano, Mo Sangare, Joel Nouble and Bruce Anderson.
