St Mirren to edge it
We kick off our predictions for this game by backing St Mirren to win the match. Hibs have been in a good place of late but their record away from home doesn't follow suit; they've lost three of their last five games on the road and have won just once in that period. By contrast, St Mirren are on a home unbeaten run of 12 games during which time they've won seven games. St Mirren also beat Hibs last time they hosted them, which was back in August.
Both teams will score
We've touched on both teams being ‘in a good place' already and, as part of that, they've been fairly free scoring. We think both teams will score in this game. St Mirren have averaged one goal per game across their last five league matches whilst Hibs have hit 12 goals across their past five games. It's worth noting neither are watertight at the back either with both sides shipping six goals across their past five games.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game and how might that impact your view of our predictions? Let's find out.
St Mirren odds: 7/4 (2.75) – 36%
Draw odds: 7/3 (3.33) – 30%
Hibs odds: 17/11 (2.55) – 39%
Hibs might be the bookies favourites to win this game but, as you can see from the above, the form St Mirren are in has made this match incredibly difficult for the bookmakers to call. An interesting take from the bookies though is in the total goals market as the price under 2.5 goals as odds on despite the strong form both sides have shown for finding the net of late.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of St Mirren vs Hibs
St Mirren
St Mirren are a really good run of form right now having put together a three game unbeaten run. Their last match in that streak – a 3-1 win over Aberdeen – was probably the best performance of the lot. As such, they'll be keen to keep momentum rolling into this match and an unchanged lineup is one way of achieving that. Last week's goal scoring defender Declan Gallagher could be the one exception to that.
Predicted lineup – Carson, Tanser, Gallagher, Gogic, Fraser, Strain, Baccus, O'Hara, Kiltie, Main, Grieve
Hibs
Hibs were quickly reminded not to get too carried away with things off the back of their 6-0 thumping of Aberdeen by drawing 1-1 with Ross County despite naming a close to unchanged XI – just the one change was made. For this game, they might just freshen things up a tad more but, ultimately, they'll play in the same manner. Harry McKirdy is one that is likely to come back into the starting lineup.
Predicted lineup – Marshall, Stevenson, Hanlon, Fish, Cadden, O'Connor, Tavares, McKirdy, Campbell, McGeady, Youan
Starting Lineups
*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.
Player to watch
Our player to watch in this game is unquestionably Thody Elie Youan. The French 23-year-old attacker has provided six league assists for Hibs so far this season but the last couple of weeks have seen him find his shooting boots too. The former St Gallen man has three goals to his name this season; two of them have come in his last two matches.
