Celtic v St Mirren
Celtic have to get going and soon.
They have a poor record under Tony Mowbray and this is a real pressure game for him. They need to score early and take advantage of being at home.
St Mirren are going quite well in the league at the moment. They will pile the pressure on Celtic, just like they did to Rangers two weeks ago.
Gus MacPherson's side will have their moments, but Celtic will be too strong for them.
Prediction: 2-0
Hibernian v Falkirk
Everyone is looking at Hibs with interest, but their results are better than their performances.
Falkirk could not be going into this game with more confidence, after a draw with Celtic and a win against Hamilton.
This will be more difficult than people expect, but the home advantage will just see Hibs edge it.
Prediction: 2-1
Kilmarnock v Hearts
This is a massive game for both sides as they try to avoid being sucked into a relegation battle.
Every time there is pressure on Kilmarnock they pull off a result, but they need consistency. If Kevin Kyle doesn't score they struggle.
Hearts always find it difficult when they have to play an open game. If they are favourites to win they turn out a poor performance.
It will be hard-fought, but Killie will edge it to pile more pressure on Csaba Laszlo.
Prediction: 2-1
Motherwell v Dundee United
Motherwell picked up a decent point last week against Aberdeen, but could have won it by half-time.
Jim Gannon likes to change the system even when they are in front, which can upset the rhythm.
Dundee United are flying, going into the game on the back of a win against Celtic.
But every time they have a decent run, United hit a bad patch and Fir Park's a difficult place to go.
Prediction: 1-1
St Johnstone v Hamilton Accies
St Johnstone are on form and have a great team spirit.
They play well and have no problems scoring, but also have a tendency to leak goals.
Hamilton won't be a pushover. They will be hurting from last week's defeat at Falkirk, but if they get in front they are hard to break down.
This will be a tight game, I reckon, but the Saints will sneak it.
Prediction: 2-1
