Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Buddies have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Johnstone's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Saints have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 13 points from 15 matches. St. Johnstone see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 15 points from their 15 games played so far,
