Arbroath will start off their 2025/26 season with a League Cup first-round match against St. Mirren in Group D. Having led the way in League One, the Smokies will look to shock the Premiership side here. Let’s look at the numbers going into the game before offering a prediction.
Arbroath had a poor finish to last season, a three-game winless run, even though they ended the season seven points ahead of second place.
This run extended into their preseason performances as they failed to win their two friendly matches ahead of this game. Two years ago, they met St. Mirren in this very competition and were beaten 4-0. In their last three matches, they conceded nine goals.
St. Mirren had a solid campaign in the Premiership last season, managing a sixth-place finish. Having won three straight friendly matches ahead of this fixture, the visitors will be keen on a flying start.
Their last two competitive matches ended in draws, but they are unbeaten in six competitive matches, winning three. On their away trips, St. Mirren bagged four wins in the last eight competitive matches.
They will be looking back to that for inspiration heading into this game. St. Mirren have four wins in their last six League Cup matches.
