FootyMAD's St. Mirren match preview

History of the Hibernian v St. Mirren fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain St. Mirren at Easter Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Hibees are clearly on top, having won 68 and lost only 19 of the 111 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2009, with Hibernian running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Hibernian have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Buddies, and 9 goals against.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Hibernian at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Hibees will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Hibernian	Drawn last 2 games at home. Failed to win in previous 5 home matches. Not won in the 3 most recent games.
St. Mirren	7 games since last away draw. Last drawn game 9 outings ago.
