St. Johnstone form and stats

Three draws in a row here at McDiarmid Park for Johnstone, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for St. Johnstone, who played 1-1 against Motherwell. That match was also played at this venue (McDiarmid Park). David Wotherspoon, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.43 (out of 10). Wotherspoon hit three key passes and had 33 successful passes (of 39 total).

1-1 away at Galatasaray before that.

The manager C. Davidson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Arbroath in only three days.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
