Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Buddies have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Kilmarnock's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Those games have seen the Killie pummel 12 goals, and let in 5.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 18 matches. Kilmarnock's total of 27 points from their 18 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.
