St Mirren, Recent FormWhen St Mirren last played in the league they faced Aberdeen and produced an outstanding 3-0 away win. In that game they had 33% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Aberdeen who had 18 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 5 clean sheets in 10 games.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Celtic, Recent FormCeltic will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Rangers. They came away from that fixture with a 56% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Rangers, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Brendan Rodgers will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and this season they have scored in 9 of their 10 games played on the road.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way. They will be very happy with their early away form this season, winning 8 of their 10 away league games.
Matt O'Riley is the man of the moment at Celtic right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Celtic recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
The last 4 matches between St Mirren and The Bhoys show that St Mirren have let in at least one goal on each occasion. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Celtic have shown they know their way around The Buddies defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
St Mirren have failed to manage a victory in their last 4 encounters in the league against Celtic.
David Turnbull has shown great form in front of goal in the past in this fixture, having scored 6 goals in Celtic's last 5 games against St Mirren.
There is only really one injury concern for the St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson ahead of this clash, with Ryan Strain (Groin strain) missing out, which gives Robinson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Liel Abada (Thigh) and James McCarthy (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Brendan Rodgers will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
