St Mirren's form has dipped sharply by comparison. After winning three of their first four league matches, they've now lost three on the spin, including a heavy 3-0 home defeat to Dundee United.

St Mirren's recent slump makes them the shakier side coming into this one.

Comparative Team Statistics: ST Mirren vs Dundee

Dundee have had the better of recent meetings

These two have crossed paths plenty over the years, and the head-to-head has tilted Dundee's way lately. They've won five of the last ten league meetings, including a 1-0 win at ST Mirren Park back in May.

St Mirren have had their moments too, winning three of those ten and drawing two, so it's far from a one-sided rivalry.

Two teams level on points

Dundee sit fourth with ten points from seven games, just ahead of ST Mirren in fifth on goal difference alone, with the same points total. It's about as tight as it gets between two mid-table sides right now.

There's barely anything separating these two on the league table at the moment.

Key men to watch

Dundee's J. Westley has been their most reliable finisher with three goals in seven appearances, and B. Fink has chipped in with two more. St Mirren's K. Phillips has been sharp in limited minutes, scoring three in just three matches, while Samu has a goal and two assists from four games.

Discipline could be worth watching too. St Mirren's R. Carr has picked up four yellow cards in seven appearances, and Dundee's Ž. Bešir was sent off in one of his three games this season.

What might decide it

With both sides so evenly matched on paper, and Dundee holding a slight edge in recent meetings, this could go either way. St Mirren's losing run is a concern, but with kickoff still a month off there's time for that to change before the game comes around.
