Kilmarnock, Recent FormKilmarnock will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Aberdeen. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Aberdeen, who had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Derek McInnes will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 8 goals they scored. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. Having shipped at least a single goal in 16 of their 19 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Joe Wright will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Kilmarnock.
St Mirren, Recent FormSt Mirren had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Livingston. In that game they recorded 46 of the possession, with 16 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 7 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Away from home in the league, Curtis Main has given the St Mirren travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
The Buddies defence has struggled at The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 visits.
When playing away from home in the league, St Mirren have failed to win any of their last 8 meetings with Kilmarnock, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Innes Cameron (Hamstring), Jeriel Dorsett (Unknown) and Calum Waters (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson ahead of this clash, with Richard Tait (Groin strain) missing out, which gives Robinson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
