St. Mirren vs Dundee Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Winning away games was something that Dundee Utd did regularly towards the back end of last season, with the eventual runners-up securing five victories in their final eight trips. St. Mirren, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their own patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash.

Over the course of their 15 top-flight away games during the current campaign, Dundee Utd have been involved in no fewer than 11 encounters containing a minimum of three successful strikes. Slightly more surprisingly, perhaps, these numbers are identical for St. Mirren home matches in the Premiership under their coach, so all the signs point towards an entertaining clash.

Both teams have found the net in 11 of the most recent 15 Dundee Utd away games in the Premiership, so Dundee Utd can hardly be accused of keeping things tight when they take to the road. St. Mirren have been similarly entertaining on their own patch of late, with nine of their last 12 top-flight fixtures delivering goals at both ends, so clean sheets could prove hard to come by.
