This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premiership, Hamilton Academical holding 10th place and St. Johnstone lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
6-1-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for St. Johnstone when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those twelve matches are 14-14 (scored/conceded).

St. Johnstone form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (4) in Premiership, are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premiership. It's looking increasingly bleak for Johnstone who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. St. Mirren was the last time a defeat was avoided. St. Johnstone seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
St. Johnstone are looking to quickly end their 378 minutes long goal drought in the Premiership.

As mentioned above, St. Johnstone was the only team on the pitch versus Brechin City in their previous game, winning 7-0. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention S. May's lethal finishing against Brechin City. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
The attacking power of St. Johnstone when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. As for defending, Johnstone rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 8 goals from these away matches.
