St Mirren are back at home this weekend as Stephen Robinson's side host Hibernian at the SMiSA Stadium.
Saints go into Saturday's match in good spirits after two wins in the last two cinch Premiership matches. The Buddies defeated Dundee United 3-0 at Tannadice last weekend - our biggest league win since a 5-1 win over United in January 2021. That came off the back of a 1-0 win against Ross County at the SMiSA Stadium the previous week.
Hibernian have picked up five points from their opening four matches in the cinch Premiership. Their only win so far came on opening day when a late Josh Campbell goal saw them defeat St Johnstone 1-0.
Late goals have been a recurring theme for Lee Johnson's side this season with Martin Boyle's injury-time goal earning a 1-1 draw with rivals Hearts on matchday two and Campbell again on the scoresheet in stoppage time last weekend in a 2-2 draw with Rangers at Easter Road.
The Hibees have lost once in the league so far this season - losing 2-1 at Livingston.

Previous
Saints were edged out in the last meeting of the two with Ewan Henderson scoring in a 1-0 win for Hibernian at the SMiSA Stadium in April.
The Buddies did, however, defeat Hibs in the match before that when Connor Ronan netted the game's only goal in a 1-0 victory for Saints at Easter Road in February.
The two other contests last season ended in draws with Joe Shaughnessy scoring late equalisers in both 1-1 and 2-2 draws.
Our last win over Hibernian at the SMiSA Stadium was in March 2017 with Stelios Demetriou scoring twice in a vital 2-0 win on our way to the 'Great Escape' of 2016/17.
