- St. Mirren have lost their last five matches in all competitions.
- Dundee have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games in all competitions.
- Dundee won the reverse fixture 1-0 away in the Premiership - Relegation Round 2026, but failed to win on either of their two previous trips to St. Mirren.
Saint Mirren’s home performance has been solid
The Buddies are currently eighth in the 2026-2027 table with 10 points from nine games, while the Dee are fourth with 13 points from eight. The odds of 1/1 for the home side here seem a bit short with Dundee at 47/20 and the draw at 53/20 as the away side's record has been better.
St. Mirren have won one, drawn one and lost two of their four home games in the 2026-2027, averaging 1.25 goals per game scored and 2.00 per game conceded. Dundee have won two and lost two of their four away games in the 2026-2027, but have only conceded four on the road.
Craig McLeish's side are very compact and can be tough to break down if the visitors press them too much, but the Buddies sit deeper and can spring fast transitions to get at you on the break.
Dundee pressing forward with pace and tempo
Dundee have won back-to-back games with a 2-1 home win over Motherwell and a 2-1 away win over Falkirk which should give them a spring in their step for this game. Steven Pressley is pushing them forward and they are playing with good tempo and pressing in midfield more.
Dundee's midfield shape is tight and compact with Joe Westley leading the goals chart with three in seven Premiership 2026/2027 appearances. But St. Mirren's Killian Phillips is their danger man with three in three Premiership 2026/2027 games and a very sharp finishing ability.
These teams are likely to play out a chess match on Saturday at The SMISA Stadium, with Dundee looking for turnovers and St. Mirren looking to exploit space behind the press. The head-to-head record gives the edge to Dundee, but they have failed to take anything away from Paisley in their two trips here under Pressley. St. Mirren are in crisis mode having been 5-0 hammered by Heart of Midlothian away and 3-1 hammered by Aberdeen away, so we'll take the visitors to have the better form and edge to nick it or hold onto a draw.
Over 2.5 goals at 7/10 looks the cleanest alternative market and is likely if the Dee play with the tempo and pace they have shown recently.
