St Mirren vs Dundee: probable lineups, match odds, bet builder ideas and betting tips for Saturday's Scottish Premiership clash, plus prediction insight.
St Mirren vs Dundee Match Summary
Competition | Scottish Premiership |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 24 October 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | The Marbill Coaches Stadium |
St Mirren host Dundee in a Scottish Premiership fixture at The Marbill Coaches Stadium, and it pits a side in freefall against one of the division's form teams.
St Mirren arrive on the back of five straight league defeats. They sit eighth in the table, and a defence that has fallen apart is dragging them the wrong way.
Dundee sit fourth and are in far better shape. Steven Pressley's side beat Falkirk away before a 2-2 draw with Rangers at Dens Park.
Previous meetings tilt Dundee's way, with three wins for the Dark Blues against one for St Mirren and two draws. Another league defeat would leave the Buddies in real trouble.
St Mirren vs Dundee Form
St Mirren's slide is ugly. A 5-0 hammering at Hearts was followed by defeat at Aberdeen, where Eseosa Sule's goal ended a barren spell but changed nothing. The real problem is at the back, with 14 goals shipped across the losing run. Ryan Carr scraps away in the engine room, but the structure around him keeps cracking.
Dundee are a different animal. Steven Pressley has kept the same XI and it is paying off, with the Dark Blues scoring at least twice in each of their last three league matches. Bradley Fink was on target against Rangers before Callum Jones grabbed the equaliser, and the Fink and Ashley Hay partnership gives them a genuine cutting edge.

St Mirren
Craig McLeish made three changes for the defeat at Aberdeen, and the probable XI mirrors that side.

Ayunga are all doubtful.
Dundee
Steven Pressley named an unchanged side for the Rangers draw, and the probable St Mirren vs Dundee lineups suggest he sees no reason to tinker. Bradley Fink and Ashley Hay lead the line, with Ethan Hamilton and Callum Jones in the engine room. S. Murray and F. Robertson are injured, while B. Wales and J. Westley are doubtful.

St Mirren vs Dundee Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: The bookies make St Mirren slight favourites at 5/4 with Bet365, but our St Mirren vs Dundee prediction does not buy it. Dundee are 2/1 with Paddy Power, and that is where the value sits given the state of the Buddies' back line. We side with Dundee to edge a messy, open afternoon with goals at both ends.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Both sides have been involved in high-scoring games recently.

Both teams to score: Yes, in the Both Teams To Score market. Dundee's strike pairing and St Mirren's leaky defence point to goals at both ends. Our projections put both teams to score at 61.79%, with each side expected to find the net. St Mirren have conceded at least three goals in their last three league matches, while Eseosa Sule gives them enough of an outlet to nick one back.
