St Mirren v Hearts: title pace-setters meet low-scoring hosts | OneFootball

St Mirren and Hearts meet in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday, 3 February 2026 in Paisley, with the leaders looking to stretch their advantage and the hosts chasing valuable points to steady a difficult league run.

St Mirren are 10th on 20 points and were beaten 2-0 by Hearts in January. The visitors sit top with 54 points and have dominated the recent head to head, while the hosts' league form has stalled.

Hearts arrive unbeaten in five league games, winning four of those, including a 3-0 victory at Dundee United last time out. St Mirren are winless in their last four league matches, drawing their past two after successive defeats.

The Jambos' season profile points to control and a direct threat in the box: 47 league goals, 12 clean sheets and 14 headed goals, with 53% possession and sharp shooting. St Mirren have scored 17 times in 23 matches and kept six clean sheets. The leaders could target crosses and deliveries, while the hosts may need to lean on organisation and set pieces to disrupt rhythm.

A home win would move St Mirren to 23 points and could lift them up the table. Hearts would climb to 57 points with victory, strengthening first place and keeping their grip on the title race.
