- 2nd-placed Aberdeen FC have 37 points from 35 matches while St. Mirren FC are 5th in the table with 30 points from the same number of matches in the Premiership - Relegation Round 2026.
- Stephen Robinson is the opposite as a coach in that he has taken Aberdeen back to basics since taking over in March 2026.
St. Mirren (Away)

- McLeish’s men have won just 2, drawn 4 and lost 12 away from home in the Premiership - Relegation Round 2026, conceding 1.83 goals per away match.
Head-to-Head
- The Saints have won 3 of the last 5 meetings between the clubs, Aberdeen have won just 1 with 1 draw recorded in the same period.
- St. Mirren also won the reverse league fixture 2-0 at home earlier in the season.
- However, Aberdeen have had a resurgence in form of late, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their last 5 and recording back-to-back home wins over Hibernian FC and Kilmarnock.
Key Players
- McLeish usually sets his teams up in a 3-5-2 system with a compact back three and wing-backs.
- The visitors have no real answer to Aberdeen’s talismanic striker Kevin Nisbet, who has scored 2 of Aberdeen's last 5 goals.
- St. Mirren’s Mikael Mandron has scored half of St. Mirren's total goals in the same 5 games in which they netted just 4 times.
- Afeez Aremu has been a breath of fresh air since coming into the side in recent weeks, scoring once in two Premiership - Relegation Round 2026 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Aberdeen are the bookies' favourites here at 2.24 but the St. Jamies are good value at 3.02 after four straight defeats and just 1 win in their last 5 matches.
- Backing Aberdeen to win looks like the best way to go here given their improved home form and St. Mirren’s awful away record in the Premiership - Relegation Round 2026.
Prediction
Backing the hosts to squeeze a tight, scrappy victory with a bet on Aberdeen to win to nil could be a smart move here.
