St Mirren play host to Annan Athletic at the Paisley 2021 Stadium in the third round of the Scottish League Cup. St Mireen are in first place in Group D, while Annan Athletic are in fifth place. Here's our match prediction.
St Mirren finished in sixth place in the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season and were eight points behind the top three. In the upcoming campaign, they will be going to improve on that finish.
After making a disappointing start in the Scottish League Cup, losing 5-3 on penalties against Arbroath after playing a goalless draw in regular time, the Buddies managed to bounce back.
They were pitted against Forfar Athletic, and while their performance was far from convincing, they secured a 2-1 away victory.
Annan Athletic was met with heartbreak in the 2024-25 Scottish League One season. They finished second from bottom and were relegated to League Two.
Their performance in the Scottish League Cup has yet to meet expectations. They have gone two matches without a win in this competition. After getting just one point from a 1-1 draw against Forfar Athletic (lost 4-2 on penalties), the visitors were behind another disappointing outcome.
In the second round, the Black and Golds were victims of a 6-1 battering at the hands of Ayr in front of their home crowd. It is safe to say they come into this match low on confidence.

Our St Mirren vs Annan Athletic FC Prediction
St Mirren are overwhelming favorites to secure maximum points in front of their home crowd. They have maintained a five-match unbeaten run at Paisley 2021 Stadium. Four of those matches at this venue have ended with over 3.5 goals, indicating they are likely to run rampant.
Annan Athletic's hammering at the hands of Ayr last time out showed some defensive vulnerabilities. That's something the home side will try to exploit. Nothing much is expected from the visitors in this one, other than another heavy defeat. Our St Mirren vs Annan Athletic prediction: over 3.5.
