- Predicted lineup: Kucherenko (GK), Stephenson (DF), Esselink (DF), Keresztes (DF), Ferry (DF), Sibbald (MF), Sevelj (MF), Fatah (MF), Eskesen (MF), Dolcek (MF), Sapsford (AT)

St. Mirren's lineup shows a balanced approach, with a strong defence and a dynamic midfield. Their recent wins indicate they can be effective going forward, but they'll need to be more disciplined at the back to keep Dundee United at bay.
