Heart of Midlothian host St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership. Hearts have generally been the more consistent side across their recent games, while St Mirren have found results harder to come by lately.
The two sides have met often down the years, and interestingly St Mirren have actually had the better of the last couple of meetings despite the current gap between them in the table.

It's a broad sample that includes European and domestic cup games alongside league fixtures, so it's not purely a Premiership picture, but the trend is clearly upward.

St Mirren have gone the other way. After a draw with Motherwell and a win at Kilmarnock, they've lost three on the spin, at home to Celtic, away at Rangers, and at home again to Dundee United. That's a rough patch heading into this one.
Momentum clearly sits with Hearts right now, with St Mirren's recent league form especially shaky.

So while the league table currently favours Hearts, St Mirren have shown they can trouble them specifically in this fixture, even during a season when Hearts have looked the stronger overall side.
History gives St Mirren a bit of encouragement that the current form gap doesn't fully capture.
Where they sit
Hearts are third with 13 points from seven games, St Mirren fifth on 10. It's not a huge gap in points, but Hearts have conceded fewer goals, eight against St Mirren's nine, while also scoring more.

Taking the season as a whole, Hearts look the sturdier side right now, sitting higher up the table and arriving in far better form than a St Mirren team that's lost its last three.
The history between these two suggests it won't necessarily be straightforward, but on current league form and standings, backing the home side to win makes sense.
