St. Mirren - Dundee FC

Forward Eseosa Sule carries the burden of leadership for St. Mirren as they arrive at matchday 10 desperate to arrest a difficult run of form. After suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat to Heart of Midlothian and a 3-1 loss to Aberdeen, the hosts are searching for their first league victory since early September. The expected XI, anchored by goalkeeper Jacob Chapman and defender Marcus Fraser, must find defensive stability at The SMISA Stadium to contain a visiting side that has shown more resilience in recent weeks.

Dundee FC arrive with momentum, having secured a point in a 2-2 draw against Rangers and a narrow win over Falkirk. Despite missing the attacking threat of the injured Simon Murray and Joe Westley, the visitors will look to Bradley Fink and Drey Wright to exploit the current vulnerability in the home ranks. With Dundee FC holding the edge in their most recent meeting in May, this encounter represents a vital opportunity for both sides to establish their footing in the Premiership.
