Our predictions for St. Mirren vs Hearts
Match Prediction: St. Mirren 1-2 Hearts
St. Mirren will be looking to bounce back from a run of three consecutive losses, but their recent wins against Dundee and Falkirk suggest they can still pose a threat. They will need to be more solid defensively, having conceded six goals in their last three games, and capitalise on any opportunities they create against a formidable Hearts side. Hearts come into this match in excellent form, having won their last five games convincingly. Their attacking prowess and solid defence could prove too much for a struggling St. Mirren, but the home side's recent victories show they are capable of causing an upset if they can find their rhythm early.
The game is likely to be competitive, with Hearts expected to dominate possession and create more scoring chances. However, St. Mirren's home advantage and their ability to grind out results could make this a closer contest than expected. Hearts' recent performances suggest they have the quality to secure another victory, but St. Mirren's resilience might keep them in the game until the final whistle.
St. Mirren's recent form has been inconsistent, with three losses following on from two wins. Their defensive frailties were evident in the losses to Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, and Kilmarnock, where they conceded a total of six goals. However, their victories against Dundee and Falkirk show they can still be effective, particularly at home. This mixed form could lead to a cautious approach against a strong Hearts side, with a focus on tightening up at the back while looking to exploit any counter-attacking opportunities.

Hearts
Hearts are in superb form, having won their last five matches, including impressive victories against Celtic and Rangers. Their ability to score goals and keep clean sheets is a testament to their well-rounded squad. This run of form will give them confidence going into the match against St. Mirren, and they will likely approach the game with an attacking mindset, looking to continue their winning streak. Their recent performances suggest they are the favourites, but they will need to remain focused to avoid any complacency against a potentially dangerous St. Mirren side.

St. Mirren (3-5-2)
Predicted lineup: George (GK), King (DF), Freckleton (DF), Fraser (DF), McMenamin (MF), O'Hara (MF), Phillips (MF), Baccus (MF), John (MF), N'Lundulu (AT), Ayunga (AT)
With Gogic out suspended, St. Mirren will need something of a reshuffle. The defence, led by Fraser, King, and Freckleton, will need to be at their best to contain Hearts' potent attack. In the midfield, O'Hara will look to control the game and provide support to the forwards.
Hearts' predicted lineup suggests a balanced approach, with a strong defensive line anchored by Halkett and Findlay, and an attacking threat from Shankland and Braga. The midfield, featuring Milne, Devlin, Baningime, and Kyziridis, will be crucial in maintaining possession and creating scoring opportunities.

Dan N'Lundulu vs Craig Halkett: This will be a key battle between St. Mirren's forward N'Lundulu and Hearts' experienced defender Halkett.
Killian Phillips vs Cammy Devlin: The midfield duel between St. Mirren's Phillips and Hearts' Devlin could be pivotal in determining the flow of the game.
Keanu Baccus (St. Mirren): Baccus is a key player for St. Mirren, providing energy and creativity in midfield.
