St. Mirren
- St. Mirren have lost their last five matches on the bounce, most recently being thrashed 5-0 away by Heart of Midlothian and 3-1 by Aberdeen, a result that should have them in full crisis mode.
- Craig McLeish has made his Saint Mirren FC a tough team to pin down since taking over on 12 March 2026, a move that has allowed them to play in a 3-4-1-2 and 4-2-3-1 shape, sitting deep to allow them to transition quickly.
- The hosts have scored an average of 1.25 goals per game at home and conceded an average of two goals per game.
Dundee
- Dundee have won two and lost two of their four Premiership 2026/2027 away games, conceding just four goals in four away games.
- While St. Mirren have lost their last five games on the spin, Dundee's record of two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five in all competitions is much better.
- Steven Pressley has them pressing higher up the field and playing a much more positive and quick tempo to their games since taking over.
- They beat Motherwell 2-1 at home.
- They beat Falkirk 2-1 away.
Head-to-Head
The Dee won the reverse fixture 1-0 away in the Premiership - Relegation Round 2026 , but they have failed to win either of their two subsequent away trips to face St. Mirren .
Key Players
- Joe Westley leads Dundee's scoring charts with three goals in seven Premiership 2026/2027 games, making him a reliable box presence for his side.
- Phillips has the best eye for goal at the Buddies with three in three Premiership 2026/2027 games.
Betting Insights
- There's little to choose between the odds, with St. Mirren coming in at a shade of even odds (2.0), Dundee 3.35 and the draw 3.65.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks like a clear bet if Pressley's side can get the game flowing.
Prediction
- With Dundee in mixed but improving shape and St. Mirren suffering a losing streak, this should be a close game, but we're backing the visitors to snatch a win or force a draw.
- St. Mirren sit 8th in the standings of the Premiership 2026/2027 with 10 points from nine games while the Dee sit 4th with 13 points from eight games, and they should be a better team on Saturday.
- Given the form and the scoring records, we're going with Phillips to bag a goal at The SMISA Stadium.
