St. Mirren - Hearts predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating St. Mirren on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

While Hearts may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.65 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

St. Mirren are coming off from an exciting away match in the Premiership. They went against the odds (2.85) to claim a first-half lead and have the rivalling fans biting their nail after 45 minutes. However, they failed to keep it going until the end but a Motherwell stalemate can hardly be considered an unsuccessful result against a tough opponent.

Hearts are coming on the back of a 1:1 draw from the home game they played against Kilmarnock in the previous round. The 3.60 betting odds gave them a decent shot at winning, and they had a small lead at halftime, but ultimately failed to keep the pressure up long enough.

The first step St. Mirren need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The away team this Saturday is largely seen as the stronger team, though the recent head-to-head score paints a different picture. They already clashed with St. Mirren this season and lost.

A Both Teams to Score bet is a very easy choice to make. A quick look at the two teams’ histories and statistics reveals that this match a very strong candidate to confirm the BTTS market.
