- Hibernian have not yet lost a game.
- St. Johnstone have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Premiership
It's no vacation for neither Hibernian nor St. Johnstone as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hibernian form and stats
Hibernian have collected seven points from their first three Premiership games here at Easter Road Stadium, a promising start.
It's back home for Hibernian, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Dundee United away with the result 3-1. S. Allan, M. Boyle and J. Newell found the net in that victory.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus St. Mirren that ended 2-2.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hibernian have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost one.
The Hibernian manager J. Ross has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league. From these home matches, Hibernian have conceded only 2 goals.
St. Johnstone form and stats
St. Johnstone, who have the fewest conceded goals (0) away in Premiership, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premiership, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
Johnstone play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Dundee (placed 12th).
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Aberdeen at their stadium, the result 1-0.St. Johnstone are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of five matches.
Johnstone are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The Johnstone defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (0 goals in 3 games).
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings with these participants: Hibernian won three, St. Johnstone were winners in five and we saw two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with under 2,5 goals.Top Goalscorers
