Prediction: 2-0
St Mirren
Hibernian play host to St Mirren in a highly-anticipated Scottish Premiership clash, promising an intense battle at Easter Road. The home side have bolstered their ranks with impressive new signings, including Jordan Obita, Adam Le Fondre, Dylan Levitt, Elie Youan, and Dylan Vente, adding depth and quality to their squad. While St Mirren have been showcasing fine displays in the League Cup, they face a formidable task in facing Hibernian on the road.
Over the years Hibernian have established themselves as a real force to be reckoned with at Easter Road, making it a fortress for any visiting team. With important midfielder Jonah Ayunga sidelined with injury, St Mirren's challenge becomes even tougher. As the match unfolds, the odds appear to favor a dominant performance from Hibernian, culminating in a predicted home win. In their last meeting at the venue Hibernian defeated St Mirren 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Christian Doidge):
Over the years Christian Doidge has established himself as one of the best attackers in Scotland Premiership. Born on August 25, 1992 in Newport, Doidge is a Wales international who plays for Hibernian in the Scottish top flight.

The towering striker played for Bristol Rovers during his youth career as well before joining Cwmbran Celtic at senior level. He played for the likes of Barry Town, Carmanthen Town, Dag & Red, Dartford (loan), Forest Green Rovers, and Bolton Wanderers (loan) as well before signing a deal with the Hibs.
Christian Doidge made his Scotland Premier League debut on August 3, 2019 in a 1-0 win over St. Mirren. The Wales attacker scored his first league goal for the Hibs against the same opponent three months late. Doidge has yet to receive a call-up for the Wales national football team.
