St. Mirren vs Hearts Prediction: Both teams seek redemption here

Heading into the final stretch of the season, Hearts and St Mirren, both contending for a European place in the S🎃cottish Premiership, will meet this Saturday. They go into this match after experiencing a run of two games without a win, a form they are eager to change.

In their previous Premiership match, St Mirren drew 1-1 against Motherwell. St Mirren held 42% possession and made 17 attempts on goal, with 4 shots on target. Marcus Fraser scored the only goal for St Mirren in the 18th minute. Motherwell, on the other hand, had 16 shots on goal, with 4 on target, and Theo Bair scored for them in the 74th minute.

St Mirren has struggled defensively recently, conceding in 5 of their last 6 matches and letting in 9 goals during this period. However, the𝄹y have been strong at home, remaining unbeaten in their last 3 league matches at home.

In their last Premiership match, Hearts played to a 1-1 draw against Kilmarnock. Despite holding 61% possession and making 16 attempts on goal, with 6 shots on target, Hearts only managed to score through Kenneth Vargas in the 10th minute. On the other hand, Kilmarnock had 12 shots at goal, with 4 on target, and Marley Watkins found the net in the 67th minute for them.

Hearts have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring 6 goals in their previous six matches. However, defensively, they have conceded 9 goals in the same period. Looking at their away form against St Mirren, Hearts have failed to secure a win in their last 3 league matches at St Mirren's grouജnd. Additionally, they haven't won an away match in their last 2 league games overall.

St MirrenPossible Starting Lineup:

Hemming; Fraser, Gogic,𓂃 Dunne; Brown, O'Hara, Boyd-Munce, Tanser; Strain, Mandron, Kiltie

Hearts Possible Starting Lineup:

Clark; Sibbick, Rowles༒, Kꦉingsley; Lembikisa, Vargas, Baningime, Cochrane, Forrest; Shankland, Oda

Both teams are facing challenges recently and are aiming to turn things around in this upcoming game. While I would have supported Hearts if they were playing at home, St. Mirren's historical record of not losi⛦ng to Hearts at home suggests a tough contest ahead. Expect a cautious approach from both sides, but I believe they have the attacking quality to score. Overall, I predict a draw at full time in what could be a closely contested match.
