Implied probability: 43.67%
Draw
3.55
Implied probability: 28.17%
St. Mirren To Win
3.10
Implied probability: 32.26%

Short form guide

The result market leans towards Aberdeen, who are rated at 50.66% in the full-time probabilities. St. Mirren are not out of the picture, but they may need a sharper start and better efficiency in the final third to shift the match away from that forecast. The score prediction is 1-1.

There is no extreme goal signal in the prediction stats, with Both Teams to Score: Yes 55.25%, No 44.75% and Total Goals Over/Under 2.5: Over 52.91%, Under 47.09%. The match could therefore swing on finishing quality rather than a clear pre-match scoring trend.
