These teams are both ending 2018-19 in strong form – but only one of them can play top-flight football next season and we think they will end up swapping divisions.
St Mirren collected 12 points from their last six Scottish Premiership matches, yet it was not quite enough to catch Hamilton and so, having finished second from bottom of the table, they are having to contest the relegation/promotion play-off.
That is against Dundee United, who finished second in the Championship to Ross County and have taken what could be considered their rightful place in this decider having beaten Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the preceding eliminator.
The Terrors despatched Inverness very impressively too, winning 1-0 away and then 3-0 at home with winger Paul McMullan continuing his excellent scoring run that now comprises a goal in four of his last six games.
Saints will clearly be no pushovers because they have really stepped up since the end of March and rounded off their regular campaign with a 3-2 win at relegated Dundee on Saturday.
But United are surely desperate to take the place of their neighbours in the Premiership and we are backing them to win this first leg before completing the job on their trip to Paisley.
