Cowdenbeath vs St Mirren Predictions

• Cowdenbeath have lost 3-0 in successive games
• Each of St Mirren’s three pre-season friendlies contained in excess of two goals
• St Mirren have only lost one of their last eight away League Cup ties

Cowdenbeath up against it

It has been a poor start to the season for Cowdenbeath, who finished the last campaign with a relegation play-off defeat, and have begun this one with successive 3-0 defeats to Arbroath and Airdronians.

Indeed, Maurice Ross’ side are now without a win in eight successive competitive home games, dating back to last season, a run of form they will be desperate to turn around.

Only two of those matches contained three or more goals, but that is largely down to their failure to score in six of them, with their last four League Cup outings all containing in excess of two strikes.

St Mirren must bounce back

St Mirren were humbled in their first competitive game of the season last week, losing 1-0 to Arbroath in their opening League Cup game.

They are unlikely to succumb to the same fate this time around though as they tackle a Lowland League side of the stature they would usually defeat.

Stephen Robinson’s side have a strong away record in this competition, suffering just one defeat in eight away games in it, with 14 of their last 25 on the road containing more than two goals.

I predict that St Mirren will win this match with three or more goals in the game, selecting 4-0 as a correct score prediction.
