St Mirren vs Motherwell

Six goals, three each, and St Mirren nearly threw away a three-goal cushion at The SMISA Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The home side raced into a 3-2 lead by half-time, playing with real purpose in front of their own fans, but Motherwell kept plugging away and got themselves back on level terms after the break to make it finish 3-3. For St Mirren there will be a nagging sense of two points lost rather than one gained, given how comfortable they looked for large stretches. Motherwell, on the other hand, can take plenty of heart from digging in after falling behind twice in the first half. A draw feels like a fair outcome in the end, even if neither defence will look back on this one with much pride. Both sides move on with their unbeaten run, or lack of one, still to be sorted out over the coming weeks.

It finished 3-3 between St Mirren and Motherwell at The SMISA Stadium, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. It was an even contest for large parts of the afternoon, with neither team able to take control of the game for long. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
