Recent respective form guides

Airdrie United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Diamonds have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

St. Mirren's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Buddies, and 4 goals against.

Airdrie Utd. see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division One, showing a record of 8 points from their 6 games played so far, St. Mirren are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 13 points from 6 games.
