St Mirren to Win
St Mirren will be desperate to muster a response following three straight defeats in league and cup, though their ability to dig out results at The SMISA Stadium should come in handy when they host Ross County on Saturday. The Buddies have lost only twice in 13 Premiership assignments at that venue this season and they have already beaten Ross County once there this term. With that strong record in mind, our first St Mirren vs Ross County prediction backs to the host to win again.
Both Teams to Score
While we have tipped St Mirren to win on Saturday, their haul of just two clean sheets from their last nine fixtures suggests they should concede a consolation goal. Ross County managed to get their name on the scoresheet in 100% of their last four fixtures in the Premiership and they are playing with enough confidence in attack to maintain their strike rate. Both teams notched in three of those matches and a stake in the same direction fits the bill at The SMISA Stadium.

St Mirren vs Ross County Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, St Mirren vs Ross County lineups and team news for Saturday’s Premiership contest below.
St Mirren
Defender Richard Tait is out of action until next month, while Jonah Ayunga is a long-term absentee in midfield. Alex Grieve is also sidelined until March. The Buddies were pipped to the points by Motherwell in a 2-1 loss last time out, though they've held on to 6th spot in the Premiership for the time being.
Predicted Lineup for St Mirren: Carson – Fraser, Gallagher, Taylor – Strain, Baccus, Gogic, O'Hara, Tanser – Main, Watt
Ross County
Ben Purrington and Ben Paton will be absent from defence and midfield respectively for Ross County on Saturday. County gave a good account of themselves at Rangers in their last league test before they were eventually beaten 2-1. Relegation is still a real possibility for the division's second-last ranked side.
Predicted Lineup for Ross County: Laidlaw – Watson, Baldwin, Iacovitti – Randall, Loturi, Kenneh, Harmon – Dhanda, Brophy, White
Player to Watch – Curtis Main
Curtis Main is St Mirren’s leading marksman this season with six Premiership goals and 50% of those efforts have been registered since the New Year. Curtis has become the Main man for The Buddies and the 30-year-old forward could be a difference-maker for his team again on Saturday.
