History of the Hibernian v St. Mirren fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Easter Road Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 70 and lost only 19 of the 113 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was just last season, in January 2010, the The Hibees carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Hibernian need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. The Hibees have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Buddies, and 8 goals against.

Hibernian are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 23 matches. St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 18 points from 22 matches.
