Dundee United vs St. Mirren: match statistics
Dundee United appears to be the favorite for this encounter, despite sitting 7th in the table. The hosts show better form in their last five matches (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) and a higher PPG (1.6 vs 0.8). St. Mirren has a dismal away record - 64% loss rate, 0% clean sheets, and conceding an average of 2 goals per match, confirmed by a -14 goal difference. Although Dundee United has only a 21% win rate at home, their advantage in xG (1.52 vs 1.35) and better form in recent weeks suggest a higher probability of victory. The high percentage of draws for the hosts (43%) and the unpredictability of both teams justify a significant probability of points being shared; however, St. Mirren's weakness on the road points towards a Dundee United victory.
