Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St. Mirren and Dundee United go head to head at the SMISA Stadium in what is expected to be a close Premiership encounter. The Saints aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Terrors. As Toyosi Olusanya limped off with injury in a 3-0 loss to Celtic at the weekend, home win should not be considered. Kenya international Jonah Ayunga is widely expected to replace Olusanya in the starting XI.
Dundee United, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Hearts and Celtic. As both Dundee United and St. Mirren will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Bear in mind, though, that there have been under 2.5 goals in each of their previous four meetings in all competitions. Midfielder Craig Sibbald should be the only absentee in the away team.
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).
