Competition: Premiership

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In a showdown that could turn out to be another cagey affair this weekend, Hibernian will host St. Mirren on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, having to settle for a single point on home soil earlier in the week, Hibernian do find themselves in the midst of a recent inconsistent spell. In their 24 Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, seven draws and nine defeats, scoring 26 and conceding 27 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 31, the Greens open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the table and holding just a two-point buffer from slipping out of the top-six. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate at home against Hearts in midweek, Hibernian have failed to win any of their last four Premiership matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen five of their last six contests across all formats finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while St, Mirren might have had to settle for their own point in midweek, they are in the midst of what has been an eye-catching run of form. In their 23 Premiership matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, 11 draws and seven defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 33 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 26, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat ninth in the table and just three points adrift of finding a shock route into the top-six. As for their recent run of results, last seen in midweek playing out a 1-1 draw against Motherwell on home soil, St. Mirren have lost just one of their last seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with Saturday’s hosts seeing of six of those seven fixtures finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
