St. Mirren vs Dundee Utd: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for St. Mirren vs Dundee Utd in the Premiership. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 15:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: St. Mirren vs Dundee Utd

• Date: Saturday, 06 December 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: The SMISA Stadium

Given St. Mirren's recent form, they'll be looking to bounce back from a string of losses and draws. Their predicted 3-5-2 formation suggests they'll aim to be solid at the back while relying on the attacking prowess of Jonah Ayunga and Mikael Mandron to find the net. However, Dundee Utd's resilience, shown in their recent draws against strong teams like Rangers and Kilmarnock, could make this a tight affair.

Dundee Utd, with their 3-4-3 setup, will likely try to exploit the wings with Zachary Sapsford and Amar Fatah, while relying on the midfield duo of Luca Stephenson and Panutche Camará to control the game's tempo. St. Mirren's defence will need to be on high alert, especially against the pace of Dundee Utd's forwards. This match could go either way, but I fancy St. Mirren to edge it at home.

Match Prediction: St. Mirren 2-1 Dundee Utd

St. Mirren's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with three losses and two draws in their last five games. The draw against Aberdeen away from home shows they can hold their own against tough opposition, but the losses to Dundee, Celtic, and Hibernian indicate a need for more consistency. They'll be looking to use the home advantage to turn their fortunes around and regain some confidence.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 3-3 vs Aberdeen (A)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Dundee (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Celtic (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Hibernian (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Heart Of Midlothian (H)

Dundee Utd have shown resilience in recent outings, drawing against strong teams like Rangers and Kilmarnock. However, the loss to Falkirk at home is a bit of a blip on their record. With two draws and a loss in their last three games, they'll be keen to secure a win and build some momentum going into this match.

Recent Premiership Results:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Rangers (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Kilmarnock (A)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Falkirk (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Heart of Midlothian (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Motherwell (A)

The head-to-head record between St. Mirren and Dundee Utd has been closely contested recently. Dundee Utd have won four of the last five encounters, including a 3-1 victory in their most recent meeting. However, St. Mirren have managed to secure one win in this period, showing they can get the better of Dundee Utd. This suggests that while Dundee Utd have had the upper hand lately, St. Mirren are capable of turning the tables.

St. Mirren's predicted 3-5-2 formation will see them focus on a solid defensive line with Marcus Fraser, Alexander Gogić, and Miguel Freckleton, while relying on the attacking duo of Jonah Ayunga and Mikael Mandron to provide the goals. The midfield trio of Jayden Richardson, Killian Phillips, and Keanu Baccus will be crucial in transitioning play from defence to attack.

• Predicted lineup: Richards (GK), Iovu (DF), Esselink (DF), Keresztes (DF), Stephenson (MF), Ševelj (MF), Camará (MF), Ferry (MF), Sapsford (AT), Möller (AT), Fatah (AT)

Dundee Utd's predicted 3-4-3 setup will see them utilise the width of the pitch with Zachary Sapsford and Amar Fatah on the wings, supporting Nikolaj Möller up front. The midfield quartet of Luca Stephenson, Vicko Ševelj, Panutche Camará, and Will Ferry will be key in controlling the game and feeding the forwards.

• Mandron vs Keresztes: Mikael Mandron's physical presence will test Krisztián Keresztes' defensive skills.

• Phillips vs Ševelj: Killian Phillips' energy in midfield will be crucial against Vicko Sevelj's tenacity.

• Ayunga (ST Mirren): Jonah Ayunga's pace and finishing could be the difference for St. Mirren.

• Sapsford (Dundee Utd): Zachary Sapsford's ability to stretch the play on the wing will be vital for Dundee Utd.
