St Mirren

WWLWLD

St Mirren prepare for this game following a 1-1 Premiership drawn match vs Kilmarnock.

In that game, St Mirren had 60% possession and 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. On the other side, Kilmarnock had 9 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Danny Whitehall (12') and Danny Rogers (90' Own goal) scored for Kilmarnock.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that St Mirren have kept a clean sheet. In fact, The Buddies have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 8 goals on the way. Still, it remains to be seen whether that trend might be replicated here in this game.

Motherwell

In that match, Motherwell managed 64% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. At the other end, Hamilton Academical got 8 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Lee Hodson (10'), Ross Callachan (49') and Callum Smith (65') scored for Hamilton Academical.
