St. Johnstone form and stats

There's been little loot from St. Johnstone's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Premiership. St. Johnstone only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. St. Johnstone are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Dundee United fixture.

St. Johnstone's last game was the home draw against Dundee (0-0). Defender Cleary was the best team player with a rating of 7.43. Cleary won 9 of 11 duels.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Premiership trip to Livingston.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from St. Johnstone's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
