Killie
- Killie sit 12th in the Premiership 2026/2027 table with zero points from their opening two games, while the Buddies are third with six points from their two.
- The home side have won two of their last three home matches and have enough bite to cause some problems for the Buddies on Wednesday, particularly with Joe Hugill providing another option in the attacking third with two goals in Killie's last five.
St. Mirren
- St. Mirren have the better momentum in this game with three wins from their last five and a pretty good record in this fixture, but Craig McLeish has clearly made the visitors better suited to dominate possession.
- The visitors will want this game to be played at their tempo and the 1-0 win over St. Johnstone suggests they can pinch a game when they can't dominate it.
Head-to-Head
- Killie have won two of their last three home H2H meetings.
- Kilmarnock have won this fixture three times in the last five meetings and took a 3-0 victory away from home three months ago,

- Greg Kiltie is Killie's main goal threat with one goal in two Prem games this term, while Tom Lowery has two assists in the same amount of Prem appearances.
- St. Mirren have Killian Phillips leading the way with three in two, while Henry Fieldson looks to have a little more creativity, having already registered one assist in one Prem game.
Betting Insights
- Killie are 2.5 favourites to win this clash, while St. Mirren are 2.77 and the draw is 3.45, but the hosts look far too short to warrant support.
