Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Tannadice Park will host Wednesday’s football game between Dundee United and St. Mirren. The Terrors are on a five-game winless run in the Premiership, but despite failing to record a win in 2021, they are still sitting in the top half of the table. Both Chalmers and Fuchs are sidelined with injuries, while Butcher is rated doubtful for the game. The Saints, on the other hand, aim to recover from the League Cup defeat to Livingston.
St. Mirren have been playing some low-scoring games of late, with under 2.5 goals being netted in each of their last seven league fixtures in all competitions. In their previous meetings in the Scotland Premier League two teams played out a goalless draw, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. St. Mirren boss Jim Goodwin has a full squad to choose from.
Highlighted Player (Calum Butcher):
Calum Butcher is an English midfielder, who was born in Rochford on February 26, 1991. Butcher played for the youth teams of Ipswich Town, Southend United and Tottenham Hotspur and despite being a Spurs player he did not see any game action at senior level during his spell with the White Hart Lane outfit.
The 185-cm-tall midfielder, though, was named as a substitute for Spurs in a 1-1 draw with Shakhstar Donetsk in the UEFA cup back in 2009. Butcher played for the likes of Barnet (loan), Hjorring, Hayes & Yeading United, Dundee United and Burton Albion in the past before joining Millwall on August 25, 2016. He made his debut for the Lions two days after signing for the club, coming as a substitute in a 3-1 victory over Chesterfield.
Butcher scored his first goal for Milwall against Northampton on October 15, 2016. It has to be noted that the midfielder scored two goals in 32 appearances for the Lions in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.
Highlighted Team (St Mirren):
St Mirren are Scottish football club that compete in the Scotland Premier League. Founded in 1877, the Buddies play home games at St Mirren Park. The venue, which was built in 2009, can hold up to 8,000 spectators.
St Mirren are well known for their white and black home kit, while black and violet are the dominant colours of their away kit. The Scottish club played their first match against Johnstone Britannia on October 6, 1877, winning the game by one goal to nil. St Mirren have a bitter rivalry with Greenock Morton, and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two clubs.
The Buddies recorded their biggest win on January 30, 1960, with the team crushing Glasgow University 15-0 in the Scottish Cup. David McCrae is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 221 league goals. St Mirren have won the Scotland Premiership three times (1925/26, 1958/59, 1986/87).
