Hibernian vs St Mirren Match Preview

Hibernian welcome St Mirren to Easter Road looking to keep their solid league form going after picking up four points from their opening two Premiership matches. They started with a good win away from home and then followed it up with an exciting draw in front of their own fans. That showed the positive approach David Gray is trying to bring.

But their momentum was dented last week when they fell to a home defeat against Polish side Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. That loss was frustrating, and now the Hibees will be desperate to bounce back and give the supporters a performance to cheer about. Kieron Bowie is one to watch, as his sharp movement and energy up front can be a key factor.

St Mirren also come into this match with confidence. Their opening defeat to Celtic was only by a single goal, and since then they have looked steady. A draw against Motherwell showed their defensive strength, while they also knocked out Hearts on penalties in the League Cup.

Most recently, they matched Rangers in a 1-1 draw at home, proving they can compete with anyone. Stephen Robinson has his side very well drilled, and in Mikael Mandron, they have a strong forward who can trouble defenders when chances fall his way.

Looking at the head-to-head record, the last two meetings ended in draws, but before that St Mirren enjoyed three wins in a row. Four of the last five games between these clubs have produced over 2.5 goals, showing this fixture tends to deliver attacking football.

Hibernian vs St Mirren Prediction

This match has the look of a close but lively contest. Hibs will be under pressure to respond after their European disappointment, and with the backing of their home crowd, they should look to play on the front foot.

Bowie could be their main threat, and if he finds space, he has the pace to unsettle St Mirren’s back line.
That said, St Mirren will not roll over. They are very hard to break down, and their recent showings against Rangers and Celtic prove they can handle strong sides.

Mandron’s presence up top gives them an outlet, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they managed to get on the scoresheet again.

Even so, Hibernian at home have just enough quality to edge it. Expect both sides to score, but the hosts to take the points in what should be an entertaining game.
