Week 13 brings us a match on Oct 29th where St. Mirren and Hibernian will play a match in Edinburgh in a meeting of these two Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Hibernian recorded a 1-2 loss against St. Johnstone. M. Kukharevych scored the first goal for Hibernian in the 35th minute, then Nicholas Clark got the equalizer for St. Johnstone in the 73rd minute on a feed from Melker Hallberg But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 82nd minute on a goal by Stevie May. Hibernian is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while 4th placed St. Mirren is fresh off their 2-1 win against Dundee United. Carljohan Eriksson struck first for St. Mirren on an own goal in the 41st minute, then in the 58th minute, Tony Watt sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Steven Fletcher. St. Mirren should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.

Keanu Baccus struck first for St. Mirren in the 6th minute on a feed from Ryan Strain, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Hibernian couldn’t muster any offence and St. Mirren ran away with the shutout win.
