St Mirren v Dundee: lower-half rivals seeking lift at the SMISA Stadium | OneFootball

St Mirren host Dundee in the Scottish Premiership at the SMISA Stadium on Saturday, 31 January 2026, with both aiming to climb from the lower half after mixed January runs.

The sides have traded home wins in the league this season. St Mirren edged September's meeting 1-0, before Dundee responded 3-1 in November. That recent split underlines a tight match-up in Paisley.

St Mirren arrive off a 1-1 draw at Livingston in the league, having lost to Rangers, Motherwell, Falkirk and Hearts across the month, though they did knock Livingston out of the Scottish Cup on penalties. Dundee's turn of the year brought league wins over Kilmarnock and Dundee United, followed by defeats to Hearts and Rangers, with a cup victory at Kilmarnock in between.

Goals may be at a premium. Both average 0.8 goals per game this season. Crossing could matter. St Mirren have delivered 380 open-play crosses at 22.37% accuracy and have six headed goals. Dundee also have six headed goals. Set pieces have not been a major source, with St Mirren scoring once from dead balls and Dundee yet to find one. For individual threats, Mikael Mandron has four league goals for St Mirren, while Cameron Congreve leads the Premiership for assists with six for Dundee, according to the league rankings.

St Mirren start 10th on 19 points and would move to 22 with a win, which could lift them up the table. Dundee are 9th on 22. Victory would take them to 25 and may create further daylight to the bottom places.
