St Mirren vs Hearts Predictions

• Mirren have lost just one of their last six SPL home matches (W1, D4).
• The Buddies are unbeaten in their last seven home encounters with Hearts, winning four including the sides’ last meeting in February 2020.
• However, Hearts beat Celtic 2-1 on their return to the SPL last weekend and are unbeaten in their last ten competitive games (W8, D2).

Hearts to consolidate Celtic success with a point

Hearts returned to the SPL with a bang last weekend when upsetting Celtic 2-1 at Tynecastle, but they may have to make do with a point this Saturday when they make the trip to face a St. Mirren side who are tough to beat at home.

John Souttar’s 89^th minute winner marked a perfect opening day back in the top flight for Hearts and the Midlothian outfit will be seriously confident that they can ruffle a few more feathers this season.

They were convincing second tier champions last term and after successfully negotiating their way through the opening rounds of the League Cup, Robbie Neilson’s men are now unbeaten in their last ten competitive matches, winning eight.

St. Mirren will be a tough nut to crack for the Jam Tarts this weekend, though. Jim Goodwin’s charges began their season with a fair 2-2 draw at Dundee and they’ve lost just one of their last six league starts at St. Mirren Park, albeit with four of those ending all square.

And that’s the outcome we’re forecasting this Saturday, with St. Mirren’s seven match unbeaten home sequence against Hearts (W4, D3) also factored into calculations. This should be a really genuine contest between two sides who will both be confident of enjoying productive campaigns, and 1-1 is our correct score prediction.
