Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Buddies have conceded a disappointing 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Inverness CT's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Caley Thistle have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

St. Mirren are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 15 points from 17 matches. Inverness CT see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 17 points from their 17 games played so far,
