Pace vs possession
Table positions
Saint Mirren FC are 3rd in the table with six points from two games, whereas Kilmarnock are 12th with zero points from the same amount of games.
Recent results
That's because Killie lost their last Premiership game 1-5 to Celtic. Saint Mirren FC, meanwhile, have won three and lost two of their last five, the latest of which was a 1-0 win over St. Johnstone in the Premiership, prior to that a 5-1 loss to Rangers in the League Cup.
Home edge
St. Mirren's form is better than Kilmarnock's, but Killie have won two of their last three at home against St. Mirren FC, so home-field advantage has factored in this fixture.
Sides look evenly matched
Killie are 2.5 favourites here, whilst St. Mirren are 2.77 and the draw is 3.45. But they won their only away game this season.
Both teams to score at 1.63 and under 2.5 goals at 1.95 seems a better bet here, with Craig McLeish's side more structured in a possession-based way that should suit this clash more than Neil McCann's man-for-man pressing.
Style clash to produce close game
Killie play a 4-1-2-1-2 and press hard to get turnovers. St. Mirren play a more traditional possession-based style, where they will try to play through the opponent.
The styles do clash here, but the Buddies look better equipped to play a possession-based game, with Killie likely to have more success in this matchup when the press is on.
Both teams can score
McLeish has leaned into a more structured possession game, which means Killie have to be more careful on the counter-attack.
Lowery is the key player in this clash, as Killie will have to be patient for turnovers and quick on the break.
- Greg Kiltie is Killie's main goal threat after one goal in two league games, but Tom Lowery has been the orchestrator with two assists in the same number of matches.
- Killie's Joe Hugill has chipped in with two goals in Killie's last five.
- For St. Mirren, Killian Phillips leads the scoring with three goals in two Premiership games, with Henry Fieldson contributing one assist in one match.
