St. Mirren's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Buddies have conceded a disappointing 5 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

Hibernian's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the The Hibees, and 5 goals against.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 26 points from 31 matches. Hibernian's 43 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
