Team News

Hibernian
St. Mirren
  • Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named two changes to the Hibernian team that was swept aside 3-0 by Rangers at Easter Road, before they came from two goals down to pick up a point against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in a 2-2 draw.
  • Paul Hanlon returned to the starting eleven, replacing fellow Hibs stalwart Lewis Stevenson, as Jordan Obita moved out to left-back. Joe Newell, whose goal sparked the Hibees into life in Ayrshire, was joined by Dylan Levitt in midfield.
  • Emiliano Marcondes, on loan from Bournemouth, was handed a starting berth against Killie. Myziane Maolida - who netted Hibernian's equaliser in Ayrshire - started from the bench alongside other January recruits Luke Amos and Nathan Moriah-Welsh.
  • Stephen Robinson named two changes to the St Mirren side that advanced in the Scottish Cup fifth round courtesy of a sole goal success against Queen of the South, before they lost 1-0 to Rangers in Paisley last Saturday lunchtime.
  • Club captain Mark O'Hara returned to the Saints starting lineup after a calf injury, taking Caolan Boyd-Munce's place in the middle of the park. Greg Kiltie made his 100th appearance for the Buddies against Rangers at the weekend.
  • Conor McMenamin is also injured, so Lewis Jamieson was handed a start on Saturday. New signings Jaden Brown - on loan from Lincoln City - and James Scott - on loan from Exeter City - were sat amongst the substitutes against the Gers.

Prediction

  • Both Hibernian and St Mirren are battling for a top-six spot in the Scottish Premiership, with the Hibees three points behind Saints having played a league game fewer.
  • Hibs are winless in their last five Scottish Premiership games, with their last league victory a sole-goal success away to Livingston in the first week of December. Kilmarnock hasn't proved an easy place to go for anybody in the division, so to come from two down should give them huge confidence. In desperate need of a win, victory against St Mirren in this six-pointer could prove pivotal.
  • St Mirren have lost four of their last five Scottish Premiership games, albeit to the current top four teams in the league table, with a 3-0 win against Aberdeen at Pittodrie being the exception. Goals have been hard to come by recently - with the victory against the Dons proving something of an anomaly - given the Buddies have failed to score in five of their last six league games.
  • Both teams are in need of the three points but St Mirren have found goals tricky to come by recently, and Hibs will hope to have taken inspiration from their Kilmarnock comeback into this game.
