Team News

St. Mirren
Kilmarnock
  • Stephen Robinson named just one change to the St Mirren side that was held at home by Motherwell in a goalless draw, before they fell to defeat against Hearts at Tynecastle as they lost 2-0 on Saturday.
  • Richard Taylor remained alongside Alex Gogic and Marcus Fraser in the Buddies' backline. Ryan Flynn was previously filling in at right wing-back but Thierry Small took his spot on the flank as Scott Tanser played at left wing-back.
  • Keanu Baccus continued to accompany club captain Mark O'Hara in midfield. Greg Kiltie pushed further forward to support Alex Greive - in for Stav Nahmani - and Jonah Ayunga in attack.
  • Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes named an unchanged Killie team despite being held in a goalless draw away to Livingston, as they won at the weekend beating St Johnstone 2-1 at Rugby Park.
  • Lewis Mayo, Stuart Findlay and Robbie Deas have developed a real understanding at the back. David Watson returned from suspension, to accompany Brad Lyons and Liam Polworth, taking Liam Donnelly's place in midfield.
  • Kyle Magennis was sat among the substitutes against Livi, after his injury woes. Matty Kennedy proved the matchwinner against Celtic, but made way for Marley Watkins to accompany club captain Kyle Vassell in attack.

Prediction

  • Fifth hosts fourth, as St Mirren take on Kilmarnock with just a point separating Saints and Killie in the Scottish Premiership table.
  • It was a similar story for Saints in that, as much as they've been strong in Paisley this season, they have been unable to replicate their home form on their travels so far in the current campaign. Despite one league defeat in Renfrewshire, the Buddies have lost six of their 10 games in the Scottish Premiership so far in 2023/24. They'll hope to make home advantage count in this one.
  • It was also a similar story for Killie in that, as much as they've struggled on the road this season, they've been pretty strong at Rugby Park having lost just two league matches in Ayrshire so far in the current campaign. That being said, they have won one league game away from home - up at Aberdeen three weeks ago - so are looking to double their tally in 2023/24 with a big win here.
  • To summarise, both teams are strong at home but poor travellers so St Mirren will hope they can find a remedy to sneak past a Kilmarnock that haven't been too successful away from Ayrshire.
