Match Date | Saturday 19 September 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Paisley, The Marbill Coaches Stadium |
St Mirren host Dundee United at The Marbill Coaches Stadium in Paisley on Saturday, the last Scottish Premiership fixture for both clubs before the September international break.
The Buddies sit fourth on 10 points from their first six league games, but arrive on the back of two defeats to the Old Firm and are itching to get back on track at home.
Dundee United, down in 11th on five points from six, remain a stubborn but inconsistent outfit, chasing only a second league win of the campaign in Paisley on Saturday afternoon.
The recent series between these sides has been tight for goals, with St Mirren having seen under 2.5 goals in eight of their last 10 matches against Dundee United in all competitions.
St Mirren vs Dundee Utd Form
St Mirren have gone toe-to-toe with the top two of late, edged out 2-1 at home by Celtic before a sole goal at Ibrox saw Rangers nick it. That followed a bright start of three wins and a draw in their opening four. Nikolas Agrafiotis leads a counter-attacking side ranked fourth for form.
Dundee United have failed to win nine of their last 10 in the Premiership, leaving them 11th. Lee Sharpe's men left it late at Tannadice to draw 1-1 with Falkirk, Michael Forbes grabbing a stoppage-time leveller. They shift plenty of shots but keep leaking goals, having conceded 11 in six league outings.

St Mirren vs Dundee Utd Bet Builder
This four-fold leans on the Saints' home edge and an open contest: St Mirren to win, Nikolas Agrafiotis anytime scorer and both teams to score in a lively Paisley affair.
St Mirren are our narrow favourites at 7/5 (Paddy Power) and have been the sharper side, sitting fourth for form against an 11th-placed United yet to find any consistency.
Agrafiotis is the focal point of the St Mirren attack as their sole striker, and our engine rates him better than even money to get on the scoresheet as the primary home threat.
Both teams to score fits nicely, with our engine assigning a near 65% likelihood of goals at each end given how freely United ship and how many shots they rack up.
United's volume backs the goals angle, with 29+ shots taken in four of their last four Premiership matches, so there should be plenty of action at both ends here.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 5.61/1 and is as short as 39/10 elsewhere.

St Mirren vs Dundee Utd Talking Points
There is a subplot at the heart of this one, with the Dundee United dugout back in action against the Terrors' former club after a manager returned following medical clearance after a health scare. His side arrive as a stubborn but inconsistent bunch, unbeaten in only one of their last 10 in the Premiership and leaking goals, yet still capable of racking up the shots that keep them in matches. St Mirren, meanwhile, have gone toe-to-toe with the top two and will fancy their chances against a defence that has conceded 11 in six league outings. Wing-back Will Ferry, fresh off the SPFL Goal of the Month award for August, offers United a spark going forward, but the Saints' counter-attacking edge and home advantage should carry real weight in Paisley.
