St Mirren vs Dundee United Match Analysis & Prediction


05/10/2024 5:00 pm


Sixth-placed St Mirren will host fifth-placed Dundee United at The SMISA Stadium on Saturday, both looking to build on their positive starts to the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season.
Despite the overall strong start, the hosts have won just one of their last nine games across all competitions, while the visitors are without a win of their own in their last three matches.
St Mirren seemed to be regaining stability with two draws and a win in September, but any perceived progress is now threatened to be undone by a 2-1 defeat to Motherwell in their most recent game.
Stephen Robinson’s side will be looking to bounce back from that defeat with a victory over Dundee United on Saturday, but their visitors are likely to prove a challenging game.
Jim Goodwin, who has been at the helm since March 2023, is likely to draw confidence from Dundee United’s strong away form this season, having yet to lose on their travels in the league, a record the visitors will aim to maintain in this match.
Dundee United have actually already beaten St Mirren this season, claiming a 1-0 victory in the second round of the Scottish League Cup, but that is their only win in this fixture since March 2022.
St Mirren vs. Dundee United Head to head
In the previous 63 meetings between these two teams, St Mirren have claimed 14 victories while Dundee United have won 31, and they have drawn in 18. Dundee United have scored 92 goals and conceded 67 in the process.
