Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St. Mirren will be looking to improve their slow start to the Premiership season as they host Kilmarnock. However, the Saints face an uphill battle with key players Conor McMenamin and Greg Kiltie sidelined due to injury. Considering that St. Mirren have been struggling in front of goal of late, home win should not be considered.
Kilmarnock, meanwhile, arrive with confidence, especially after their 1-0 win over St. Mirren in their last visit to the venue. With midfielder Kyle Magennis being the only absentee, the visitors have a mostly fit squad and will be eyeing another fine performance. Killie have shown resilience this season and will look to exploit the weakened St. Mirren side. Given St. Mirren’s slow start and some injuries, Kilmarnock seem well-positioned to come away with all three points. Expect the visitors to replicate their previous success at this ground.
