LiontipsRangers vs St Mirren. Prediction and bets on the match of the Scottish Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Rangers are currently only third in the Scottish Premier League. At the start of the current season, Aberdeen, who are currently at the top, were added to Celtic rivals. It is not known for how long this will last, but Rangers are already nine points behind. The hosts' position was seriously damaged by an unexpected defeat to Kilmarnock (0:1) in the last round. After this match, they managed to rehabilitate themselves in the Europa League, where the Blues won a major victory over Romanian FCSB (4:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo, Rydvan Yilmaz and Danilo in the infirmary. Janis Hagi is serving a disqualification.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last 13 matches have ended in a draw
- The team won all matches in the Scottish Championship at home
Probable lineup : Butland - Yefte, Suttar, Balogun, Tavernier - Ruskin, Barron - Bajrami, Lawrence, Black - Dessers
Current form
St Mirren are 10th out of 12 in the Scottish Premier League, just three points ahead of Hearts and Hibernian, who share the last place. At the start of the season, the team took part in the Conference League qualifiers. First, they managed to beat Icelandic Valur (0:0, 4:1), and then the visitors were eliminated by Norwegian Brann (1:1 and 1:3). After being eliminated from the European Cups, the team began to crumble in the championship. In the last seven matches, they managed to win only one game - on September 21, they beat Hearts (2:1). Then the club suffered three defeats in a row - from Motherwell (1:2), Dundee United (0:1) and Hearts (0:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visiting team will miss the match with Alex Iacovitti, Conor McMenamin and Richard Taylor.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not won a single away match in any tournament this season.
- The visitors have lost their last five head-to-head matches against Rangers
Probable line-up : Balcombe - Fraser, Gogic, Dunn, Tanser - Phillips, Smythe, O'Hara - Kielty, van Veen, Olusanya

1.44Tip and bets
St Mirren are playing very poorly away from home. The team has managed to pick up only one point in away matches in the championship, so it is unlikely that the Saints will be successful in this match. The hosts need to catch up with the leaders of the championship, so Rangers will obviously be determined. The hosts have won all their home matches in the Premier League with great confidence, so Rangers are unlikely to have any problems here.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2) on Rangers for 1.90
Bet on total
The hosts are far superior to the visitors in terms of the class of footballers, so St Mirren will probably try to rely on defense. It is unlikely that Rangers will remain without goals, but we do not expect more than three goals here.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.75
Bet on the first half
In the last five head-to-head encounters, the favourite has already gained an advantage in the first half. We believe that nothing will change now. We do not think that St Mirren will be able to withstand the onslaught of their opponents in the first 45 minutes.
Prediction: Rangers win in the first half with odds of 1.52
