St. Mirren vs Hearts Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Saturday, 6th April, football enthusiasts are in for a thrilling encounter as St. Mirren welcome Hearts to The Smisa Stadium for the 32nd round of the Scotland Premiership. With both teams showing mixed forms in their recent outings, this clash promises to be a fascinating battle.

St. Mirren, under the guidance of Stephen Robinson, will look to capitalize on their home advantage and improve upon their current 5th position in the Premiership with 43 points. Their recent form has been somewhat inconsistent with just one win from their last five matches (1W-3L-1D), including a hard-fought draw against Motherwell away at Fir Park that ended 1-1.

Hearts, led by Steven Naismith and sitting comfortably at third in the league with 56 points, also come into this match off a draw. Their last game against Kilmarnock at Tynecastle Park saw them share spoils with a scoreline of 1-1. Over their last five games, Hearts have shown slightly better form than St. Mirren (2W-2L-1D), gathering seven points from possible fifteen.

The head-to-head record between these two sides adds an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup - each team has claimed victory twice along with one draw in their last five encounters. Notably, when they met previously on December 23rd at Tynecastle Park, Hearts emerged victorious with a convincing 2-0 win over St.Mirren.

Statistically speaking both teams have been fairly even when it comes to goals scored and conceded throughout the season; however Hearts tend to find the back of net more frequently away from home averaging about 1.67 goals per game compared to St.Mirrens's home average of scoring about only around half that amount . This could play into Heart’s favor as they seek an important victory on the road.

Bet

Given both teams' recent forms and performance statistics leading up to this match-up - especially considering Heart's stronger away goal scoring record despite conceding similarly while playing away - betting enthusiasts might find value in backing an "Away Win" for Hearts given odds are pegged at favorable value of 2 which represents not only recognition of Heart's slight edge but also offers potential return without stretching too far into high-risk territory.. Alternatively ,given past performance trends where defense seems tighter especially from St.Mirren playing at home , opting for "Under 2 Goals" could also offer safe haven given its lower risk profile reflected through odds set at 175 . However,the slightly better form and historical context leaning towards Heart’s side makes "Away Win" stand out as our recommended bet
