Hibernian have won 6 of their last 7 matches against St. Mirren in all competitions. Hibernian have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches (Premiership). St. Mirren have failed to score in their last 3 matches (Premiership). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in St. Mirren's last 4 away games (Premiership). St. Mirren have failed to win their last 8 matches (Premiership). Hibernian are undefeated in their last 7 matches (Premiership). St. Mirren have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches (Premiership).
Hosts Hibs have yet to lose in the league so far this season. Meanwhile, visitors St Mirren are yet to win in the Scottish Premiership this season. The Hibees' only disappointments have been dropped points to two newly promoted sides away from home. They responded with their draw against Dundee with a routine victory against Livingston at Easter Road, and they'll be hoping that lightning can strike twice. While both they and Hearts will feel as though they could've won the derby, this should prove an easier test. Saints have yet to get going in an attempt to better their best season in quite some time last campaign. Yes, it's early on in the season, but if they're to go one better in the league and gatecrash into the top six, along with fighting in the Scottish Cup seeing as they're out of the Premier Sports Cup, then they have to find a winning formula sooner rather than later. Given Saints are suffering from a stuttering start, and Hibs are back at home, a comfortable scoreline should reflect both sides' starts to the season. 2:0
Jack Ross made three changes in personnel as Hibernian followed their 2-0 victory over Livingston at Easter Road, with a 0-0 stalemate at the home of nearby neighbours Hearts in the first Edinburgh derby of the season. Club captain Paul Hanlon had been absent with a head injury, but came in to replace Darren McGregor in a three man Hibees defence. Chris Cadden made his first appearance of the season after also being on the treatment table with a thigh injury. And Joe Newell entered the midfield, to cover for Jake Doyle-Hayes as he and Jamie Murphy were both sidelined due to illness and injury respectively. Martin Boyle, who had been an injury doubt, was cleared to start at Tynecastle. St. Mirren manager Jim Goodwin made three changes after the Buddies shared the spoils against St Johnstone 0-0 in Paisley, before recording back-to-back stalemates after being held at home at the hands of Dundee United. Matt Millar made his Buddies bow, at right wing-back, after signing for Saints as a free agent upon the expiry of his Newcastle Jets contract. He was joined in a five man midfield by another debutant, Wolves loanee Connor Ronan. Another player the Buddies have high hopes for is 16-year-old Dylan Reid, who made his first Saints start against United, after appearing last season to become their youngest ever player.
