Queens Park vs St Mirren Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Group H is one of the tightest in the competition, with five sides split by just three points. There are two Premiership sides in the group, but they’ve not been able to get away from the rest. While the sides are all quite close in the standings, making it through to the next round will be tough. There’s only one guaranteed spot in the last 16, while the number of dropped points by them means that the runners-up are unlikely to be among the four second placed sides to make the next round.

That puts huge pressure on the teams lower down the table, like St Mirren and Queen’s Park. They clash on Tuesday night, with the pair just outside the top two. The Premiership side are on four points from two games, after two penalty shoot-out wins handed them two bonus points. Meanwhile, Queens Park have three points, but they’re only two points from the top with two matches to play. Claim a result this week, and they’re in the mix for top spot.

While St Mirren have yet to lose so far, they do need to finally win a game. However, their defence isn’t entirely convincing. They conceded 1.33 goals per game on the road last term, and they shipped 67% of their goals on their travels. That’s got to be a concern ahead of this trip, especially given that they haven’t entirely convinced in this competition so far.

Queen’s Park were in impressive scoring form last season, scoring 1.2 goals per game. They found the net in 82% of their games, while they come in to this clash off the back of a 2-1 victory at the weekend. Meanwhile, Spartans were able to fire two goals past the St Mirren defence, so we’re not that confident in their chances at the back here. They’ve conceded in seven of their last eight away League Cup games, and we see that run continuing here.

The visitors were able to hit 1.75 goals per game in the league last season, finding the net in 83% of their games. We’re backing both teams to find the net in this one, while we can see St Mirren slipping up yet again. They’ve won just once in five away trips, so we’re backing BTTS in this clash, along with a 1-1 draw.
