Saint Mirren (home)
- Saint Mirren FC are Stephen Robinson’s pragmatic team that has come together well since his appointment in February 2022.
- They use a three-man backline that morphs into a 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 shape depending on the matchup.
- They have success with their wing-backs flooding the box and are quick to get up and pressure the ball on the transition.
- Recent results:
- Won 3-1 vs Celtic (League Cup).
- Won 1-0 vs Livingston (Premiership).
- Home Premiership record: 3 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses from nine games, scoring 7 times.

- Kilmarnock have struggled for results and sit 11th with 12 points from 18 games.
- Saint Mirren are clear favourites at 1.81 with Killie priced 4.35 and the draw 3.5.
- Kris Doolan was named Kilmarnock boss in December 2025 after a period of upheaval at the club.
- Killie tend to set up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and are a direct team that can be a threat from set-pieces and on the counter.
