Our predictions for St. Mirren vs Hearts
Match Prediction: St. Mirren 1-3 Hearts
St. Mirren will be looking to bounce back after a tough run of losses. They've shown they can score, as seen in their wins against Dundee and Falkirk, but their defence has been leaky. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to stand a chance against a rampant Hearts side. Expect St. Mirren to come out fighting, but they'll need to be clinical in front of goal.
Hearts, on the other hand, are in red-hot form, smashing teams left and right. Their recent victories over Celtic, Rangers, and others show they're not messing around. They'll be confident going into this match, but they can't afford to underestimate a wounded St. Mirren side. If Hearts keep their focus, they should dominate possession and create plenty of scoring opportunities.

St. Mirren
