Only a few games have been played in the Premiership so far, with Kilmarnock placed 7th and St. Johnstone sitting in the 9th position.
It's no vacation for neither Kilmarnock 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.
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).
Kilmarnock form and stats
A Premiership draw at home so far for Kilmarnock. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats from 15 matches.
The home team returns to Rugby Park after being equal after 90 minutes with Ross County (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the Premiership game ended 2-2. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Celtic.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kilmarnock perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kilmarnock as a small favourite), we find five games. Kilmarnock has won one of these, drawn one and lost three.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kilmarnock at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
St. Johnstone form and stats
The Premiership season is young and St. Johnstone have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Johnstone, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Rangers (placed 1st). Before that, Johnstone travelled to Dundee United and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by St. Johnstone in our archives, and the results are: one win for St. Johnstone, three draws and five defeats.
It's early days yet, but St. Johnstone has scored 1 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Kilmarnock six wins, two draws and St. Johnstone two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
