Airdrieonians vs St Mirren Predictions

• Five of Airdrieonians last seven competitive games produced under 2.5 goals in 90 minutes.
• Each of St Mirren’s last seven competitive clashes saw under 2.5 goals within 90 minutes.
• Airdrieonians are undefeated within 90 minutes since November 2021.

A tight encounter in Airdrie

Currently sitting second in their group after an opening win and draw, last season’s Scottish League One runners-up Airdrieonians are looking for another positive result against Premiership opposition if they are to stay above them in the standings.

While two divisions separate the sides, the hosts are as yet unbeaten within 90 minutes at home in this calendar year, an impressive feat when considering that run since the beginning of 2022 spans across 11 games. 

A noticeable trend of late is the lack of goals where Airdrieonians are concerned, five of their last seven competitive games produced two or fewer while the same can be said of each of the last seven games involving St Mirren. Much like the current UK heatwave, we expect the goals to dry up in the sunshine.

Solid St Mirren can hold out for a draw

One or no side scored in each of St Mirren’s last three competitive away games while none of those produced at least three goals. Not only this, the 15 games St Mirren have played under the stewardship of Stephen Robinson produced just 2.1 goals per-match on average, which informs our two-goal correct score selection of a 1-1 draw.

Airdrieonians last two home defeats came on penalties after a 1-1 draw and we can see this one ending in similar fashion, so we are sticking with an under 2.5 goals pick for the main selection.
