St. Mirren welcome bottom side Hibernian to the SMiSA Stadium on Wednesday 28 October, kick-off 7.45pm, with both clubs chasing a result that could lift them clear of early-season trouble.
The hosts snapped a five-game losing run last time out, while Hibernian are still searching for consistency at the foot of the table. Our St. Mirren vs Hibernian predictions and betting tips weigh up a Scottish Premiership meeting between two sides badly short of form.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson sees little to separate two out-of-form sides at the SMiSA Stadium and has picked out two prices worth backing for St. Mirren vs Hibernian.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Draw | 29/10 (Betfair Sportsbook) | Neither side arrives in form worth trusting. Hibernian are winless in six league games and have lost their last three, while St. Mirren needed a 2-1 home win over Dundee to snap a five-game losing run. Three of the last five meetings between the clubs have ended level, at 1-1, 2-2 and 0-0, and the hosts have won only two of their five games at the SMiSA. With little to separate two struggling sides, Betfair Sportsbook’s 29/10 about a share of the spoils is the value call. |
| Hibernian most corners | 10/11 (Betfred) | The corner numbers point firmly towards the visitors. Hibernian have averaged 6.4 corners a game in the Scottish Premiership this season, comfortably more than St. Mirren’s 4.2, and the Buddies give away 6.5 a game at the other end. Hibs have had to chase plenty of matches given how freely they concede, which only adds to the pressure they put on opposition defences. That gap should tell again in Paisley, and Hibernian to win the corner count at 10/11 with Betfred is a solid way in. |

How St. Mirren go into the game
St. Mirren sit sixth in the Scottish Premiership on 13 points, with four wins, one draw and five defeats from their opening 10 games. Things had looked grim during a five-game losing streak, but a 2-1 home win over Dundee last time out steadied the ship.
At the SMiSA Stadium the Buddies have taken two wins, a draw and two defeats from five, scoring seven and conceding nine. A leaky back line remains the worry: they have shipped 18 goals in total, the joint second-most in the division alongside Motherwell.
How Hibernian go into the game
Hibernian travel to Paisley rooted to the bottom of the table on seven points, having won just twice in 10 outings. Both of those victories came on their travels, which offers a little encouragement for this trip even if their overall away record reads two wins and two defeats from four.
Confidence is thin after four defeats in their last five, the latest a 2-1 home defeat by Celtic last time out. Worryingly for the visitors, Hibernian are the only side in the division yet to keep a clean sheet, conceding 16 goals so far.
St. Mirren vs Hibernian head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14/02/26 | Hibernian | 2-0 | St. Mirren |
| 08/11/25 | St. Mirren | 0-3 | Hibernian |
| 31/08/25 | Hibernian | 1-1 | St. Mirren |
| 14/05/25 | St. Mirren | 2-2 | Hibernian |
| 16/02/25 | St. Mirren | 0-0 | Hibernian |
Recent meetings have gone the way of the visitors. Hibernian have won the last two league encounters, including a 3-0 success at the SMiSA last November, with three draws before that. The hosts will therefore be desperate to turn that record around on home soil.
