Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Hibernian will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to six games when they face St. Mirren at their Easter Road on Matchday 6. The Hibs head into Saturday’s match following a goalless draw with Hearts where they missed a couple of clear-cut chances to seal the victory. Hibernian aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Saints.
Kevin Nisbet is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while Jamie Murphy, Christian Doidge, Sean Mackie, and Melker Hallberg are sidelined with injuries. The Saints are eyeing their first win of the season, but seeing that they have netted no more than three goals in total to date, we are tempted to put our money on the Hibs. Both Charles Dunne and Greg Kiltie remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
