Kilmarnock vs ST Mirren Prediction, Tips & Odds
Kilmarnock vs ST Mirren
Match Preview
The model favours St Mirren to win this match against Kilmarnock, projecting a scoreline of 2-1. St Mirren currently sits in a strong second position in the league, having won both of their opening matches without conceding a goal. Their solid defensive record, with zero goals against, is a key factor for their early season success, alongside a goal difference of +3. In contrast, Kilmarnock is struggling at the bottom of the table, currently in 12th place with two losses from their first two matches. They have conceded nine goals, which highlights significant defensive issues, and their goal difference of -5 indicates a lack of balance in their play. While they have shown some potential with two wins in their last five matches, their current form does not inspire confidence. The model indicates a win probability of 65% for St Mirren. However, a potential concern for St Mirren could be complacency, as they may underestimate a Kilmarnock side desperate for points. The full methodology behind this prediction is detailed in the "How We Reached This Prediction" section, where our in-house model evaluates expected goals and actual results throughout the season.

Last 10 Meetings (Kilmarnock leads 6-1)In the last 10 matches between Kilmarnock and ST Mirren, Kilmarnock has won 6 times, drawn 3 times, and ST Mirren has won once. This record indicates a significant advantage for Kilmarnock, particularly highlighted by their ability to secure narrow victories, as seen in several matches with scores like 1-0 and 2-0. ST Mirren's only win, a heavy 5-1 victory, stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise tight series of encounters. The frequent draws also suggest competitive matches, but Kilmarnock's dominance is clear, with ST Mirren last winning in 2025.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team
Data-driven football predictions and betting tips
This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.
Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
