Our predictions for St. Mirren vs Hibernian
Match Prediction: St. Mirren 1-2 Hibernian
St. Mirren, despite a recent run of poor form with three losses in their last five games, will be looking to capitalise on their home advantage. Their only win in the recent stretch came against Dundee at home, suggesting they might find some confidence playing in front of their own fans. Hibernian, on the other hand, have shown more consistency, securing two wins and a draw in their last five matches. The game could be closely contested, with Hibs potentially having the edge due to their recent performances.
However, St. Mirren's resilience was evident in their 2-2 draw against Hearts, where they showed they can compete against strong opposition. Hibs' recent loss to Hearts might give St. Mirren some hope, as it indicates Hibs can be vulnerable. The match might hinge on St. Mirren's ability to exploit any defensive lapses from Hibs while maintaining a solid defensive structure themselves.
St. Mirren's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five games. This poor run includes three losses, which could impact their confidence going into this match. However, their draw against Hearts at home shows they can hold their own against tough opponents. If they can replicate that performance and capitalise on their home advantage, they might be able to challenge Hibs effectively.
