St. Mirren vs Kilmarnock Prediction & Tips | Premiership - Relegation Group | FootballTips.app

A huge Scottish Premiership basement battle takes place in Paisley this weekend, as St Mirren - who currently occupy the relegation playoff place - host tenth-placed Kilmarnock on Saturday afternoon.

Over their past 10 Scottish Premiership matches, St Mirren (7) have picked up the fewest points of any team in the division (W2 D1 L7) as the Buddies' recent woes continued with defeat at Dens against Dundee last Saturday. Only already relegated Livingston (11) have picked up fewer points at home than St Mirren (20), who will hope to change their fortunes against Kilmarnock this weekend.

Kilmarnock continued their wonderful recent record over Dundee United, as Killie are now unbeaten in nine Scottish Premiership meetings (W5 D4) against the Terrors since a 4-0 defeat back in November 2022. Killie look to have turned a previously poor home record into one of their greatest strengths, but no team has picked up fewer points on their travels than Ayrshire's only Premiership club (9).

Killie have beaten the Buddies twice at Rugby Park this season, but there was no separating Saints and Kilmarnock in a goalless game in Paisley back in December so that could prove the case again here in what should be a tight and tense affair.
