It is a three-point battle and an opportunity to avoid relegation, as the battle for the safety of the Scottish Premier League becomes more difficult. St Mirren (11, 26 points) will seek to continue his miraculous escape when they face Hamilton Academical (10, 30 points) in their penultimate bout.
With four points being the difference, anything less than a victory will be a curtain for the locals in their quest to beat the tiebreaker for the descent. This is a good comeback for St. Mirren, who was five points adrift at the foot of the table at the end of February. The Saints need a win to take it to the last day and they are unbeaten in four games now.
They have lost just three of their last 11 games and have a game against the relegated Dundee pending. Hamilton can confirm his safety with a draw and would not want to take him until the last day, where they face St. Johnstone. Their recent form is also good, with an unbeaten streak of four games that included a 1-0 victory over Dundee in the last round. They have the advantage of remaining undefeated against the Saints in the three games they have played this season.
PREDICTION: St. Mirren to win @ 2,00
