Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Wednesday’s football game at the SMISA Stadium pits together St. Mirren and St Johnstone, the two teams with mixed forms in the Premiership. St. Mirren are low on confidence following four consecutive defeats, but their display in a 2-1 defeat to Rangers was anything but poor. Both Alex Iacovitti and Richard Taylor continue to miss out with injuries, while Conor McMenamin will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Saints, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Ross County (3-0) and Dundee FC (2-1). As St Johnstone have improved offensively, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting at the SMISA Stadium St. Mirren defeated St Johnstone 2-0, meaning that the hosts are closer to picking up all three points from the match that the visitors. Both Uche Ikpeazu and Sam McClelland are injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (St Mirren):

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.
